The new buzz in the herbal products market is the green coffee and its many health benefits. Green coffee is nothing but coffee processed and extracted from unroasted and immature coffee beans. Coffee and tea are the two most popular health beverages in the world, and are second most popular drinks next to water.
South America is the largest producer of coffee and is responsible for 45% of the world’s total coffee production and exports, the major contributor being Brazil. Arabica and the Robusta; are namely the two most important varieties of coffee plant. These two varieties play a huge role in the economics of coffee production and export.
Coffee is mostly cultivated in tropical climates that are humid enough for the coffee plants to flourish. The plants need heavy rains while the fruits are in the developing stage, and lesser rains as the coffee beans ripen. They can be harvested throughout the year.
Coffee trees require 3–4 years to start bearing fruits; after they have been planted. And they bear fruits for another 10 to 20 years in a row.
There are various processes by which coffee is made. And this is what separates each type of coffee from one another. The coffee beans that are mature enough are plucked and dried. Then these dried coffee beans are then roasted till their colour turns to a darker shade of brown. This process of roasting destroys and reduces the amount of a critical and essential component of coffee which is the theophylline, an antioxidant. The next step is to take these well roasted coffee beans to a grinding unit that processes the coffee powder.
The process of making green coffee is a little different from that of the normal coffee. Generally the coffee beans are plucked only after they are mature enough. But to makes green coffee, the coffee beans are plucked when they are quite young and green, instead of waiting for them to mature and ripen up all the way. Then these raw green beans are processed to get the extract from green coffee from the green coffee beans. And of lately, these extracts are then formed into pills and are sold in the market.
