Somini Sengupta went to Zirobwe, Uganda, to write about (and taste) a coffee
that might help a warming world stay caffeinated.

First the bad news. The two types of coffee that most of us drink — Arabica and
robusta — are at grave risk in the era of climate change.

Now the good news. Farmers in one of Africa’s biggest coffee exporting countries
are growing a whole other variety that better withstands the heat, drought and
disease supersized by global warming.

For years, they’ve just been mixing it into bags of low-priced robusta. This
year, they’re trying to sell it to the world under its own true name: Liberica
excelsa.

An earlier version of this article stated incorrectly the name of the body where
Catherine Kiwuka works as a coffee specialist. It is the National Agricultural
Research Organization, not the National Agricultural Research University.
