About coffee beans
Coffee was originally planted under shades of other large trees. The process of shade planting is still popular in many regions of the world. In this traditional method, the coffee berries used to ripen slowly and take its natural form before they can be plucked from the tree. But with the increase in demands for coffee supplies across the world, a faster method of yielding coffee beans became popular with the farmers. Now the coffee plants are not grown under shade but under direct sunlight. The sunlight causes the coffee beans to ripe faster. However this process of growing coffee under the sunlight requires some extra care of the plants. It needs to be sprayed with pesticides often.
The coffee berries are picked up from the coffee plant by hand and taken to the processing plant. The seeds are segregated according to their ripeness, fermented, processed and finally dried on drying tables. The final step is roasting of these green coffee beans. The roasting process is very important as it actually decides the taste of the coffee.
After roasting, the coffee beans are required to be stored in an airtight container to preserve the fresh taste. Environmental factors like air, light and heat deteriorate the flavour of the coffee beans. However with life becoming faster the demands to coffee bags and coffee pods have caught up with the younger generation. Modelled after tea bags, they provide the convenience of instant coffee.
