Coffee has been around for centuries and can be traced back to coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau.
The name 'coffee' is based on the name where coffee was first found in Kaffa, Ethiopia.
Over the years as coffee started gaining traction, there have been plantations established all around the world to bring the love of coffee to everyone.
Coffee beans are grown from a coffee plant and take around a year to produce flowers and around four years to bear fruits.
At the 10-year mark, coffee beans are produced and these plants have a life span of 30 to 40 years.
The taste of coffee beans can change based on the climate and location in which it is grown.
