| Coffee Beans |
| After three to four years, when they reach maturity, coffee trees
bear fruit in lines or clusters along the branches of the trees. Referred to as
a berry or cherry, this fruit turns red when it is ready to be harvested.
Coffee beans are actually the seeds of these ripened cherries. Most arabica
cherries ripen after 6-8 months; robusta beans take between 9 and 11 months to
ripen. |

Beneath the
cherries' red skin is a fleshy pulp, a slimy layer, and a parchment like
covering of the bean. Inside these layers are usually two beans, which are
covered by a thin membrane or coat. This membrane or seed skin, is referred to
in the coffee trade as the "silver skin".
Different locations allow for a different taste
experience, see how the flavor varies country to country. |
