Coffee Beans are actually the seeds from the fruit of Coffee Trees. Just as apples are red and oranges are orange, coffee beans are green when removed from the fruit of the tree. It is the roasting process that changes them from green to the various shades of brown, depending on your roast preference. So in the industry, Green Coffee simply means unroasted coffee beans (that are ready for roasting).

The fruit that grows on coffee plants can actually be eaten, the seed or pit is the coffe been, t can be picked green but ripe coffee is actually red and soft. The pulp is taken off with a special machine that turns them round and round, then they go to the proses of being roasted, which is another machine with a very hgh tempeture and finally it is put into sacks. Coffee is sold in beens the company that buys them is who grindes them or sels them in beens.
Poeple who pick coffee try to pick them ripe (red) because they are payed better and thats the better quality of coffee, and of course green coffee beens are payed cheaper and mixed cffee beens (red and green) are payed somewhere in between.
