Coffee is cultivated in over 70 countries and the two most commonly grown varieties are arabica and robusta. Coffee beans are harvested, processed, dried, roasted, ground, and brewed to make coffee. Coffee cultivation began in Southern Arabia and was banned by some religions due to conflicting beliefs, but is now one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world.

2. Coffee is a brewed drink prepared
from roasted coffee beans, which are the
seeds of "berries" from the Coffea plant.
Coffee plants are 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 beans
are roasted to varying degrees, depending
on the desired flavor, before being ground
and brewed to create coffee.

3. Coffee berries and their seeds undergo several
processes before they become the familiar roasted
coffee.
Berries have been traditionally selectively picked by
hand; a labor-intensive method, it involves the selection
of only the berries at the peak of ripeness.
More commonly, crops are strip picked, where all
berries are harvested simultaneously regardless of
ripeness by person or machine.
After picking, green coffee is processed by one of
two methods—the dry process method, simpler and less
labor-intensive as the berries can be strip picked, and
the wet process method, which incorporates
fermentation into the process and yields a mild coffee.

4. Coffee cultivation first took place in
Southern Arabia; 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. As these ceremonies conflicted with the
beliefs of the Christian church, the Ethiopian
Church banned the secular consumption of coffee
until the reign of Emperor Menelik II. The beverage
was also banned in Ottoman Turkey during the 17th
century for political reasons, and was associated with
rebellious political activities in Europe.
