Do coffee beans come from cherries?
What we call a coffee bean is actually the seeds of a cherry-like fruit. Coffee trees produce berries, called coffee cherries, that turn bright red when they are ripe and ready to pick. The fruit is found in clusters along the branches of the tree. The skin of a coffee cherry (the exocarp) is thick and bitter. From the moment coffee beans are roasted to the time they reach your cup, they face four relentless enemies: air, moisture, heat, and light. Each one can dramatically affect the flavour and quality of your coffee if not properly managed.
