Brazil Coffee
A coffee bean is the seed of the coffee plant (the pit inside the red or purple fruit). The fruits, coffee cherries or coffee berries, most commonly contain two stones with their flat sides together. Coffee beans consist mostly of endosperm that contains 0.8 - 2.5 % caffeine, which is one of the main reasons the plants are cultivated. Coffee beans are an important export product for some countries.
Etymology
The name derives from the Arabic language (قهوة qahwa - "coffee" and bunn - "berry"). The name bean is not botanically accurate as the Coffee plant is not a member of the Fabaceae family.
Types
Species of coffee plant include Coffea arabica, Coffea benghalensis, Coffea canephora, Coffea congensis, Coffea excelsa, Coffea gallienii, Coffea bonnieri, Coffea mogeneti, Coffea liberica, and Coffea stenophylla. The seeds of different species produce coffee with slightly different characteristics.
Coffea arabica accounts for about 75% of the world's coffee trade, while Coffea canephora (syn. Coffea robusta) is cultivated where Coffea arabica does not thrive, and Coffea liberica and Coffea excelsa are grown in limited areas.
In a crop of coffee, a small percentage of cherries contain a single bean, instead of the usual two. This is called a peaberry.
Like coffee beans, cocoa beans are grown around the world and are a major commodity, highly prized in wealthy countries. West Africa accounts for 70 percent of the world's output, with the rest grown either in Indonesia and Brazil (20 percent), or on a smaller scale in countries across the South, from Belize to Madagascar.

Pablo Picasso's Portrait of Suzanne Bloch, and The Coffee Worker by Brazil's Candido Portinari, were stolen from the Museum of Art of Sao Paulo in a brazen theft at dawn. It took thieves just three minutes as the guards inside were going through their shift change.
Brazil's coffee is going to undergo a new process of identification and qualification of grain and of the ground product. A decree published this Tuesday, March 25, by the Secretariat for Agricultural Defense at the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture is starting a public consultation regarding technical regulation of the new rules.
