Say something about Beans

  It may sound weird but coffee beans are the seeds of a small berry.Eack berry has two green coffee beans.When the beans are roasted,they expand and turn brown and pop open to give the more faliliar look .There are only two tupes of commercial coffee beans grown in the world today(Arabica and Robudta).

Type of beans

ARABICA

Named after the arabs,it was originally found in Ethiopia but now is cultivated in many other places like the Americas,Africa,and Asia.Roughly 75% of all coffee ground today is Arabica.

ROBUSTA

Mainly cultivated in Africa.Robusta has more caffeine than Arabica which results in a more bitter taste.Robusta is considered lower grade compared to Arabica and is cheaper to produce.

Altitude Effect

Milds are Arabica beans from coffee plants grown at hight altitudes.Higher grown coffee beans which means that there is more flavor packed into it.

Brazils are Arabica beans grown at lower altitudes.The quality of these beans are lower than milds.However,they are also cheaper than milds.
