From Green Coffee Beans To Aromatic Powder

Coffee does not exist in the form that we are used to purchasing it in at the stores.  Coffee comes in the form of green coffee beans that grow on the coffee plant. These green coffee beans are then collected from coffee plantations and are sent to places to be roasted , ground and finely crushed to make the coffee powder that you are use to purchasing at your local store. There is a process that these green coffee beans must go through before they actually become coffee powder. Firstly, the beans must be picked from the coffee plantations.  This is usually done by hand by laborers who get paid for each basket that they pick.  Then, since coffee beans have a fruity flesh that directly wraps around the coffee bean, once they are gathered this flesh has to be removed right away.  This is done by soaking the beans, scouring them and then mechanically rubbing the bean.
