Excelsa coffee ( Coffea liberica var. Dewevrei , Syn . : Coffea excelsa A.Chev. , Coffea dewevrei De Wild. & T.Durand ) is a type of coffee . The variety is considered a rarity and was discovered in 1904 on Lake Chad .

The size of the beans is roughly the same as that of Robusta coffee , while the growth and leaves are similar to Coffea liberica . It has the strongest growth of all types of beans. Above all, the ability to thrive well on drier soil and to generate a satisfactory yield even in years with little rain is what distinguishes them. Today this variety is mainly grown in Chad and accounts for around 1% of world coffee production. Because of its scarcity and its strong aroma, Excelsakaffee is considered a rarity on the one hand, but takes getting used to on the other.

Excelsa coffee is a variety of the kind Coffea liberica whose nominal form (var. Liberica ) is referred to in German as Liberica coffee.
