Coffee production begins with the cultivation of the coffee plant, primarily the Arabica and Robusta varieties. These plants thrive in tropical climates, requiring specific conditions like rich soil, adequate rainfall, and shade. Farmers carefully tend to the plants, ensuring they grow healthy and produce high-quality coffee cherries. Once the cherries are ripe, they are harvested, either by hand or using machines. After harvesting, the cherries undergo processing to extract the coffee beans. This can involve methods like washing or drying, which help remove the outer fruit. Once processed, the beans are roasted to develop their flavor, and finally, they are ground and brewed to create the beloved beverage we enjoy every day.
