Coffee beans
Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee plant, found inside the fruit called coffee cherries. They come primarily in two varieties: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans are known for their smooth, complex flavors, while Robusta beans are stronger and more bitter, often used in espresso. After harvesting, the beans undergo processing, which involves drying, grinding, and roasting to develop their flavor profiles. The roasting process significantly impacts the taste and aroma of the final coffee. Once brewed, coffee provides a stimulating effect due to caffeine, making it a popular beverage worldwide.
