A coffee bean is a seed, planted and watered frequently and shaded from bright sunlight. Coffee thrives in the tropic regions and at high altitudes.
The coffee bean is actually a seed of fruit called a Coffee Cherry. It will take approximately 3-4 years for the newly planted coffee trees to bear fruit. In most countries each crop is picked by hand. The harvest is then sent to the processing plant.
Once picked, cherries are carried to a mill for processing. There, they are passed through a pulping machine to separate the skin and pulp from the bean. After separation, fermentation is complete. The beans are then rinsed and are ready for drying.
The beans are then dried to approximately 11% moisture to prepare them for storage. The dried beans are what we call green beans.

Arabica (coffea arabica)
Arabica coffee is characterized by its sweetness and acidity, its fruity and zesty flavours and intense aroma. It has a light to medium body and a soft mouthfeel. It contains on average about half of the caffeine of Robusta.
Grinders® uses premium grade Arabica coffees sourced from growing regions around the globe including SE Asia, Africa and South America.
Robusta (coffea canephora)
Robusta coffee is characterised by its woody and earthy flavours. It has lower acidity and a heavier mouthfeel. It is traditionally blended with Arabica beans to achieve excellent body in an espresso.
The Robusta trees are high bearing and disease resistant. Grinders® uses high grade robusta coffees predominately from Uganda and India.
