After being classified, coffee beans undergo a roasting process.This is done to enhance the natural oils, and caramelize the natural sugars within the beans. The roasted coffee is then blended to match the tasteprint of the roaster, and then either packaged, or sent to be ground. 

The majority of the world coffee production is made up of 2 varieties:

1. Arabica:
Arabica coffee is mainly grown in Central and South America at high altitudes (2000 – 6500 feet above sea level).These beans produce higher quality and more aromatic coffee, with lower caffeine content.More than two thirds of the world coffee production is arabica coffee.

2. Robusta:
Robusta is mainly grown in Africa and Asia at relatively lower altitudes (ranging between 700 and 3000 feet above sea level.These beans produced a coffee with less aroma but more body.
