Origins of Coffee Beans
Coffee beans are the seeds of the Coffea plant, native to tropical regions of Africa. The plant was first discovered in Ethiopia and soon spread to other parts of the continent. Arabica coffee, the most popular type of coffee today, is believed to have originated in the highlands of Ethiopia. The plant was later introduced to Yemen, where it was cultivated for its beans.
From Yemen, coffee spread to other parts of the Arab world, including Turkey and Egypt. The Ottomans were particularly fond of coffee, which became an important part of their culture. Coffee was also introduced to Europe, where it gained popularity among the upper classes.

Varieties of Coffee Beans
There are two main types of coffee beans: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans are known for their complex flavours and are the most popular coffee bean. They are grown at higher altitudes and in colder climates, which results in a slower maturation process and a more flavorful bean.
Robusta beans, on the other hand, are grown at lower altitudes and in warmer climates. They are easier to cultivate and have a higher yield than Arabica beans, but they are considered to be of lower quality. Robusta beans taste bitter and are often used in blends to add body and caffeine content.
