Wild coffee is distinguished by its upright structure, growing between 9 to 16 feet (2.7 to 4.8 meters) tall. The species boasts deep grey bark paired with leathery, oblong leaves organized in a distinct, parallel arrangement. Each leaf measures 1 to 1 1/2 inches (2.5 to 3.8 centimeters) in length and 3/4 inches (1.9 centimeters) in width, with a glossy dark green upper side and a duller green underside, featuring a slightly wavy, ciliated edge. Bell-shaped, lightly fragrant, white flowers with fine white hairs are borne at various times of the year, and dark red-purple berries would form if pollination occurs.
