Coffee Tree

Coffee Tree
               The coffee tree cultivated in tropical regions for its bean, a principal agricultural export of several countries. The shrub or small tree reaches a height of 4.5 m and has fragrant, white flowers that give way to pulpy "cherries" containing the bean. After the fruit is harvested and the pulp removed, the bean are dried and shipped to be roasted, ground, and packed.
