After the 18th century, it was widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, becoming the world’s top three beverage crops.
Coffee beans are mainly used to make beverages and are an important ingredient for coffee drinks, deeply loved by people. In addition, coffee beans can also be used to extract caffeine, which can be used as an anesthetic, diuretic, stimulant, and cardiac stimulant.
