Coffee is the most drunk brewed drink in the world and the
trade of raw products is second only to the oil one. Did
you know that coffee bean is nothing but the seed of coffee
plant?
Coffee plant is a shrub that gives, along the branches,
a fruit very similar to cherry, for size and color; it is
called drupe. Inside the berry, which has got a protective
film named parchment, there are two seeds: coffee beans.
The extraction is made by several processing techniques:
picking the pulp, cleansing, drying and selection. It's
important to know that the coffee we drink is the outcome
of a mixture of different kinds of coffee with unique features
depending on variety and origin.
There are different varieties of coffee, but the two most
commonly grown are ARABICA and ROBUSTA.
