Coffee

Coffee is a globally popular beverage made from the roasted seeds of coffee plants, primarily grown in the 'Bean Belt' region. The cultivation process involves growing, harvesting, and processing coffee cherries, with methods ranging from selective hand-picking to mechanical harvesting. The manufacturing of soluble coffee granules involves several steps, including roasting and grinding the beans.

COFEE
WHAT IS IT MADE FROM?
 Coffee, beverage brewed from the roasted and ground
seeds of the tropical evergreen coffee plants of African
origin. Coffee is one of the three most popular
beverages in the world (alongside water and tea) and
one of the most profitable international commodities.
WHERE IS IT GROWN AND WHY?
 Coffee is grown in many countries
around the world, but the majority is
produced in the "Bean Belt", a region
that stretches from the Tropic of
Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn
 Central and South America
 Africa
 The Middle East and Southeast Asia
 Coffee plants, or Coffea, prefer warm
temperatures, high humidity, and
nutrient-rich soil. They also do well at
high altitudes, often growing in
mountainous areas
HOW IS IT GROWN?
 Coffee is grown from the seeds of a coffee
plant, which is a tropical shrub or small
tree, where the "beans" are actually the
seeds inside a fruit called a cherry that
grows on the plant; these cherries are
harvested when ripe, then processed to
remove the outer layers, leaving the
coffee beans ready to be roasted and
ground for brewing; most coffee is grown
in the "coffee belt" around the equator,
with the main types being Arabica
(considered higher quality) and Robusta
(hardier and with more caffeine) which
require specific climate conditions like
shade and adequate rainfall to thrive.
HOW IS IT HARVESTED OR
COLLECTED?
 Coffee is harvested using a variety of methods, including:
 Selective harvesting
 A traditional, ecological method where workers manually

pick only ripe coffee cherries by hand. Unripe cherries are


left on the tree to be harvested later. This method is more
expensive and time-consuming, but it's used to collect the
best Arabica coffees.
 Stripping
 Also known as pulling, this method involves picking the

entire branch of the coffee plant, from the trunk to the


edge of the branch. This method is faster than hand-
picking, but it's not as gentle on the plant and can include
unripe and damaged fruit.
 Mechanical harvesting
 This method uses machines to comb the branches of the

coffee plant, causing the cherries to fall into a collection


HOW IS IT MANUFACTURED
 Making pure soluble coffee granules from coffee beans
is a long process with seven main parts – growing the
beans, harvesting them, roasting them, grinding,
extraction and drying, which produces the 100% pure
soluble pure soluble coffee granules you use to make
your cup of NESCAFÉ.
