Coffee talk: Get to know the beans and the brews
According to the National Coffee Association, coffee holds rank as the most popular beverage in America, with 58% of residents choosing it daily over tea, water, juice and soda, but how much do you really know about your cup of joe?
Where coffee comes from
A member of the cherry family, coffee grows on trees — mainly the Robusta and Arabica species — across a tropical swath of the world known as the “coffee belt.” Terroir lends its own distinctive flavor qualities and characteristics to the beans harvested in each growing region.
