COFFEE
Coffee trees are clipped short to conserve their energy and assist in harvesting but can grow to a height exceeding 30 feet (9 meters) high. Each tree is covered with waxy leaves, green growing opposite each other in pairs. Coffee cherries usually grow along the branches. It grows in a continuous cycle; thereby it's not unusual to see flowers, green fruit, and ripe fruit concurrently on a single tree. Usually, it takes cherry almost a year to mature after first flowering, and close to five years of growth to reach its full potential for fruit production. Coffee plants can live up to 100 years; however, they are usually most productive between the ages of Seven and Twenty. Proper care can enhance their output over the years. However, it depends on the variety. The average coffee tree produces Ten pounds of coffee cherry per year or about two pounds of green beans. Coffee grown commercially from a region of the world is referred to as the Coffee Belt. The trees grow best in rich soil, frequent rain, shaded sun, and mild temperatures.

COFFEE ROASTING
Roasting is a heat process carried out to turn coffee into the fragrant and dark brown beans. Roasting coffee converts the physical and chemical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products. The roasting process is what produces the typical flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in taste. Unroasted beans contain similar, if not higher levels of acids, protein, caffeine, and sugars as those that have been roasted. However, lack of taste of roasted coffee beans can be caused by Maillard and other chemical reactions that occur during roasting.Some coffee drinkers usually roast coffee at home just like a hobby in order toexperiment with the flavor profile of the beans and achieve the freshest possibleroast.
