Green Coffee Beans
Executive Summary about Green Coffee by Alison Cole

Green Coffee. Green coffee beans naturally have to go through a special process before they reach the phase of being turned into the popular hot drink that so many people love and enjoy on a daily basis. Coffee is prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant. The green 'coffee beans' that are collected from the coffee plantations are sent to places where they are roasted, ground and finely crushed to make coffee powder.

One enjoyed benefit that many people enjoy is the fact that there is a large variety of different flavors they can drink and enjoy when it comes to coffee that has been made from green coffee beans. The variation in the process that is used in each of the different countries throughout the planting procedures and differences in the soil that is used, the harvesting, as well as in the preparation and the roasting procedures that are used will all play a very big factor into each of the varieties and different delicious tasting flavors that you and your family have grown to love so much and enjoy each day.

The following are a detail of all the processes that green coffee beans have to go through before they actually become coffee powder. Green coffee beans are most frequently picked by hand by laborers who get paid by the basketful. Since coffee beans are a type of drupe, with fruit flesh directly wrapping the coffee bean, after being gathered the flesh of the coffee bean must be promptly removed by soaking, scouring and mechanically rubbing the bean. When roasted, the green coffee bean expands to nearly twice its initial size, changing in color and density.
