Coffee is grown with seeds with endocarp, and the raw coffee beans we usually come into contact with have their endocarp removed, so they can't be planted.

Endocarp ("sheepskin" or "paper skin") refers to the tea-brown hard skin that wraps the coffee seeds, and the coffee beans attached to that layer are called "shelled beans" ("sheepskin paper beans").

Generally speaking, there are two pairs of seeds in the fruit, but occasionally there is only one seed in the fruit, which is called Pea berry.

The coffee we usually drink is made by grinding, brewing and other steps after roasting the seeds at the center of the coffee fruit.

Coffee fruit is mainly transformed into raw coffee beans by the following three treatments: drying type, water washing type and water washing type.
