| intro = Coffee is the seed of the ''Coffea'' genus (Rubiaceae — the same family as ''Cinchona''/quinine and DMT-bearing ''Psychotria viridis''). ''C. arabica'' (0.6–1.6% caffeine) is a tetraploid cultigen originating in the Ethiopian highlands; ''C. canephora'' (robusta, 1.2–3.2% caffeine) has more caffeine and less flavor. First popularized in Yemen by Sufi monks for sustaining night-long prayer.
