Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of berries
from the Coffea plant. The Coffea plant is native to subtropical Africa and some islands in
southern Asia. The plant was exported from Africa to countries around the world and coffee
plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the
Americas, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa. The two most commonly grown are the highly
regarded arabica, and the less sophisticated but stronger and more hardy robusta. Once
ripe, coffee beans are picked, processed, and dried. Green (unroasted) coffee beans are one of
the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Once traded, the coffee beans are
roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor. Roasted beans are ground and
brewed to produce coffee as a beverage.
Coffee is slightly acidic and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its caffeine
content. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. It can be prepared and
presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, cappuccino, cafe latte, etc.). It is usually served
hot, although iced coffee is also served. The majority of recent research suggests that
moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial in healthy adults.
Coffee cultivation first took place in Abyssinia. The earliest credible evidence of coffee-
drinking appears in the middle of the 15th century in the Sufi shrines of Yemen. In the Horn
of Africa and Yemen, coffee was used in local religious ceremonies.
Coffee is a major export commodity: it is the top agricultural export for numerous countries
and among the world's largest legal agricultural export and one of the most valuable
commodities exported by developing countries. Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most
traded agricultural commodities in the world. Some controversy is associated with coffee
cultivation and its impact on the environment. Consequently, fair trade coffee and organic
coffee are an expanding market.
Keywords: coffee, beans , plant.
“As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there
is a general commotion. Ideas begin to
move...similes arise, the paper is covered.
Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be
a struggle.”-Honore of Balzac
