The first contact is the barista has already baked cooked beans, except for nothing is clear, it turns out that there is a great deal of knowledge.

Peel: different kinds of beans have different fruit shapes and different peel colors.

Pulp: the flavor of fruits from different bean species and producing areas is also different.

Endocarp: different post-treatment methods, endocarp treatment time is different.

Silver skin: the residue of silver skin of coffee treated by different methods is different.

Coffee beans: the above differences have created all kinds of strange coffee beans.

Coffee is grown with seeds with endocarp, and the raw coffee beans we usually come into contact with have their endocarp removed, so they can't be planted.

Endocarp ("sheepskin" or "paper skin") refers to the tea-brown hard skin that wraps the coffee seeds, and the coffee beans attached to that layer are called "shelled beans" ("sheepskin paper beans").

Generally speaking, there are two pairs of seeds in the fruit, but occasionally there is only one seed in the fruit, which is called Pea berry.

The coffee we usually drink is made by grinding, brewing and other steps after roasting the seeds at the center of the coffee fruit.
