Coffee of the World
The Bean Belt is the latitudes in which all coffee plants are grown.The area is between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Coffee plants are cultivated in more than 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia. Once ripe, coffee "berries" are picked, processed and dried to yield the seeds inside. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor, before being ground and brewed to create coffee.
