Introduction to the spread History and latest Information of Fine Coffee Raw Bean

Raw coffee beans are the seeds of coffee trees. It is the wealth hidden in coffee cherries (coffee berries) that people usually call coffee cherries. They are mistakenly called "beans" because they are similar to the beans we usually see, but they are actually the seeds of coffee. Usually there are two flat oval coffee beans in the coffee berries, and a small number of coffee berries contain only one coffee raw bean, just like there is only one grain of rice in the rice. This kind of bean is called Peaberry. These raw coffee beans usually contain endosperm.

Coffee beans are very similar to people in many places, such as storage environment, people's comfortable environment is suitable for raw beans: dry, dry or wet, cool, not hot or cold, the only exception is light, raw beans should be protected from light. Raw beans are crops and need to breathe, so theoretically the best storage material is clean, odorless and breathable, which is why sacks, straw bags and even natural oak barrels are used in raw coffee bean producing areas all over the world.

The spread of coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, about 850 in the Christian era. It then spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and coffee was not really documented until the 900th year of the Christian era. At that time, the Yemenis carefully guarded the coffee in order to prohibit the outflow of coffee. However, some coffee saplings are smuggled to the Netherlands and planted in greenhouses.

It was only in 1723 that coffee was grown in America.

South America now handles almost 45% of the world's coffee bean exports, most of which come from Brazil.
