The coffee bean is the seed of the coffee plant, which is typically found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and South America.The coffee plant is a flowering shrub that can grow to be about 10 feet tall. The coffee plant produces white flowers that smell like jasmine, and the fruit of the plant is a red, cherry-like drupe. The coffee plant flowers best in full sun and well-drained soil. Coffee beans are actually the pits of the coffee fruit, and they are encased in a fleshy, green covering called the pericarp.<\/p>\n

Where do roasted coffee beans come from? <\/h2>\n

Coffee roasting is a process of heating green coffee beans to produce roasted coffee. Roasting coffee beans changes their physical and chemical properties, resulting in a more flavorful product. The roasting process also destroys certain coffee compounds that can cause bitterness. <\/p>\n

Coffee roasters use large machinery called roasters to roast their fresh green beans. Roasted coffee is produced when green coffee is placed into a large, heated cylinder where it is subjected to heat and air pressure until it reaches the proper degree of roast. <\/p>\n
