Small, while flowers bloom on coffee trees. These charming little white flowers have a fragrance reminiscent of Jasmine. It is said that it is difficult to catch a glimpse of these tiny blossoms because they fall from the trees after a mere 2 days. After the blossoms drop, green fruits emerge. As the fruits grow, they become red. These fruits are called "coffee cherries," because of their similar appearance to cherries. coffee cherries normally contain 2 coffee beans (with the smooth, flat sides of the beans resting against each other). Occasionally, a coffee cherry will contain only 1 coffee bean, or sometimes even 2 coffee beans. When a coffee cherry only contains a single coffee bean, the coffee bean is called a "peaberry." Green coffee beans that have removed from the coffee cherry undergo a process that transforms their physical and chemical properties to produce the characteristic flavor of coffee.
