Although coffee is referred to as a bean, it is actually the seed of a piece of fruit, known as a coffee cherry. The cherries are hand picked, and the seed is separated from the fruit. By varying the amount of time the fruit is allowed to dry on the seed, these methods impact the flavor of the finished product. After the ‘beans’ are dried, the unroasted product is called ‘green coffee’.

2. What is coffee?
Although coffee is referred to as a bean, it is actually the seed of a piece of
fruit, known as a coffee cherry.
The cherries are hand picked, and the seed is separated from the fruit. By
varying the amount of time the fruit is allowed to dry on the seed, these
methods impact the flavor of the finished product. After the ‘beans’ are dried,
the unroasted product is called ‘green coffee’.

3. The two main species of coffee
are Arabica and Robusta. Robusta
coffee packs more caffeine, and a
sharp bitter flavor. This is one
reason why Arabica coffee is the
more desirable of the two, as it
possesses a smoother taste and
enjoyable flavor characteristics.
