coffee are arabica and robusta. Arabica coffees grow between 600
and 2000 metres - robusta grows between sea level and 600 metres.
The coffee plant is actually a shrub - pruned to around two or three metres, which makes it easy to pick. After five years, it's ready to produce quality beans - or rather, cherries.
These cherries have a little stone in the middle - the green coffee bean. |
