科學(xué)家們表示，一種之前 “被遺忘” 的、能生長在更溫暖環(huán)境中的咖啡植物或許能幫助未來的咖啡飲品抵御氣候變化。據(jù)預(yù)測，我們也許很快就能品嘗到狹葉咖啡（Stenophylla）的味道，這是一種來自西非的稀有野生咖啡品種，味道很像小?？Х龋ˋrabica），但生長在更溫暖的環(huán)境中。

A fresh brew prepared from the roasted beans of Arabica, the high-quality coffee that dominates the multibillion-pound coffee industry.

這是用烘焙過的小粒咖啡豆制作的一杯新鮮咖啡，在價值數(shù)十億英鎊的咖啡產(chǎn)業(yè)中，小?？Х仁亲钪饕膬?yōu)質(zhì)咖啡品種。

But as temperatures rise and droughts intensify, good coffee will become increasingly difficult to grow and expensive to buy.

但隨著氣溫上升和干旱加劇，優(yōu)質(zhì)咖啡將越來越難以種植，購買成本也越來越高。

That's why experts are searching among more than a hundred wild coffee species for a plant that can tolerate warmer and drier conditions.

這就是為什么專家們正在從上百個野生咖啡品種中尋找一種能耐受更溫暖、更干燥環(huán)境的植物。

And they say we could soon be sipping on Stenophylla, a coffee from Sierra Leone that was recently rediscovered after not being seen in the wild for more than fifty years.

專家們說，我們可能很快會品嘗到來自塞拉利昂的 “狹葉咖啡” 了，它在野生環(huán)境中消失了五十多年后，最近被重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了。
