CoffeeberryÂ® Brand Coffee Fruit. CoffeeberryÂ® Brand is a trademarked term suggestive of a line of environmentally friendly, proprietary, patented products derived from the whole cherries of the coffee plant, Coffea Arabica.
Although there are several coffee species, most coffee is made from the seed or bean of either Coffea arabica (Arabica coffee) or Coffea canephora (Robusta coffee). Arabica trees normally produce berries 8-15 mm in diameter, and Robusta produces berries approximately 10 mm in diameter. Commercially, Robusta is regarded as having inferior quality to Arabica coffee and is used mainly as a filler in instant coffee blends. Coffee berries are picked when they ripen to a bright deep red colour, though there are a few cultivars that ripen to a deep yellow colour. The coffee or 'green bean' lies within the fruit, and is surrounded by the parchment membrane, pulp or mucilage and outer skin. Coffee processing in the home is very time consuming.
