Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) holds a significant place in the Philippines' coffee history and is native to the country. This variety has large, asymmetrical beans and is recognized for its distinctive flavor profile, often described as bold and smoky with hints of fruity and floral notes. Liberica trees are known for their robust growth and resistance to certain coffee diseases, making them well-suited for cultivation in the Philippines. While less common globally, Liberica coffee is highly valued by coffee connoisseurs for its unique taste. | Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) holds a significant place in the Philippines' coffee history and is native to the country.

Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica), sometimes referred to as Beria or mistaken for Excelsa, shares the characteristic of growing into large trees with the Excelsa variety. Like Robusta, both Liberica and Excelsa require cross-pollination for fruit development. However, a notable distinction lies in the size of their fruits.

Like Robusta, both Liberica and Excelsa require cross-pollination for fruit development. However, a notable distinction lies in the size of their fruits. Excelsa produces small cherries like the Arabica and Robusta, while the Liberica cherry stands out due to its larger size, making it easily recognizable. | ||
Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) has even larger leaves compared to Excelsa. The leaves are often described as being much larger and broader, ranging from about 20 to 50 centimeters (8 to 20 inches) in length. They have an elliptical or obovate shape, and the edges may be smooth or slightly serrated. Liberica is a coffee variety that bears fruit throughout the year. The size of its cherries is approximately twice that of Robusta or Arabica, while the beans themselves are only about one-third larger. The larger cherry of Liberica is due to its higher "meaty" content, making it a preferred choice for animals and young children to enjoy. Its fruity taste is pleasantly sweet. Unlike Arabica or Robusta, the Liberica fruit takes a little longer to mature, with a maturation period of up to one year. | Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) has even larger leaves compared to Excelsa.
