COFFEE

Coffeeis abreweddrinkprepared from

roastedcoffee beans, which are the
seeds of"berries"from theCoffeaplant.
Coffee plants are cultivated inover 70
countries, primarily in the equatorial
regions ofthe Americas,Southeast
Asia,IndiaandAfrica.
The two most commonly grown are the
highly regardedarabica, and the less
sophisticated but stronger and more
hardyrobusta.
Once ripe, coffee beans are picked,
processed, and dried. Green (unroasted)
coffee beans are one of the most traded
agricultural commodities in the world.
Once traded, the beans areroastedto
varying degrees, depending on the
desired flavor, before being ground and
brewed to create coffee.

Coffee berries and their seeds undergo several

processes before they become the familiar roasted
coffee.
Berries have been traditionally selectively picked
by hand; a labor-intensive method, it involves the
selection of only the berries at the peak of
ripeness.
More commonly, crops are strip picked, where all
berries are harvested simultaneously regardless
of ripeness by person or machine.
After picking, green coffee is processed by one of
two methodsthe dry process method, simpler
and less labor-intensive as the berries can be strip
picked, and the wet process method, which
incorporates fermentation into the process and
yields a mild coffee.

coffee-drinking appears in the middle of the 15th
century in theSufishrines ofYemen. In theHorn
of Africaand Yemen, coffee was used in local
religious ceremonies. As these ceremonies
conflicted with the beliefs of theChristian church,
theEthiopian Churchbanned the secular
consumption of coffee until the reign of
EmperorMenelik II. The beverage was also
banned inOttomanTurkey during the 17th
century for political reasons, and was associated
with rebellious political activities in Europe.
