Q 1: Do people in coffee-producing countries also like to drink coffee?
Most people don't like drinking coffee. Frankly speaking, except for Ethiopia, a coffee mecca, citizens here consume about 40% of local coffee products, and drinking coffee is their daily life. Most people in other coffee-producing countries don't have the habit of drinking coffee, or only drink cheap coffee that can't reach the export level, because the raw coffee beans are strictly classified, and the exported coffee beans are all high-grade products without defective products.
Q2: Why do coffee cherries have to be picked by hand?
Because it is necessary to manually identify the maturity of coffee beans. Even if the fruits of coffee trees grow on the same branch, the ripening speed may not be exactly the same. However, ensuring the complete maturity of coffee fruits is one of the foundations for making high-quality coffee, and fruit farmers must pick them themselves. Of course, in order to save time, some agricultural parks will pick all the fruits at once and then classify them.
Q3: Can coffee beans be eaten directly?
It is not recommended to eat, it is not easy to digest, but Arabica beans have a unique natural aroma, and some people may think it is delicious! (Most baristas should have eaten coffee beans raw, right? Hahaha)
Q4: When planting coffee trees, will all the nearby trees be cut down?
No, maybe we will plant tall trees specially. Because coffee trees are afraid of direct sunlight, they were originally planted next to tall trees such as banana trees. Some farms will deliberately plant tall trees next to coffee trees to keep out the sun.
What is organic coffee?
No pesticides or fertilizers are used at all, and the fruits produced by naturally cultivated coffee trees are called organic coffee.

Every kind of coffee has different calories, so we can't generalize.

Of course, milk coffee with the same style and capacity may have less calories than hot coffee, because ice cubes without calories replace milk.
