How many cups of coffee do you consume per day? Have you ever thought about where and how coffee, which has become a part of our culture that adds vitality to our bodies throughout the day, is produced? Let’s accompany the journey of the coffee bean together. ☺
Coffee is actually a fruit that grows on trees. The coffee tree is a delicate plant that does not grow in every climate. It grows in countries located between 250 North and 250 South parallels of the equator. It is grown by nearly 80 countries extending from the Asian continent to the American continent. Coffee, the most traded raw material after oil, is usually delivered to the whole world in 60-kilogram bags.
Initiatives have been made in our country to produce coffee. Although these trials were carried out in Mersin, which has the closest climate to the climate where coffee grows, no positive results were obtained.
If we go into the essence of coffee, it actually consists of two main plant species: Arabica and Robusta. Then, it is divided into different coffee varieties according to the regions where it is grown. Since the climate characteristics of the country directly affect the quality and flavor of the bean, choices are made according to taste.
Let’s look at the countries where coffee is produced and the characteristics of the coffee bean together;
