Sme f the wrld’s best Cffea arabica is grwn n Munt Kenya. This variety f the plant prduces beans that are tastier than thse frm its pr cusin, Cffea canephra (knwn as rbusta), which ften ends up in instant cffee (速溶咖啡). Hwever, glbal warming may reduce the ttal area that is mst suited t grwing arabica beans by abut half by 2050.

9. What des the underlined “it” refer t in Paragraph 3?
