Arebica

Arabica is a type of coffee bean that comes from a special plant that grows in certain parts of the world like Africa and South America. This little bean is really special because it makes a really yummy coffee that lots of people love to drink!

The Arabica coffee bean plant needs to grow in specific conditions to make the most delicious coffee. It needs to be at a certain altitude and in a certain amount of sunlight and rainfall. Farmers who take care of these plants have to work really hard to make sure they grow just right.

Once the beans are ready to be picked, they need to be roasted to get that yummy coffee flavor. That means they get cooked at really high temperatures until they turn brown and start to smell really good.

After that, the beans can be ground up into a powder or kept whole for people to enjoy at home or at a coffee shop. People all around the world love Arabica coffee for its rich taste and that little boost of energy it gives us.
