"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family." -Kofi Annan-

Indeed knowledge is power. We can make better, informed decisions when we are armed with information. A better understanding of coffee and where it comes from can make us better consumers and coffee drinkers.

This podcast episode is part 1 of a series of episodes about where coffee comes from. In this episode we will be discussing how coffee is grown and specifics about the coffee tree. We will examine the coffee fruit (cherry). What does a coffee cherry look like? Can you eat it? Finally, we will discuss how farmers harvest coffee..
