Americano, macchiato, double hazelnut cappuccino—coffee is a way of life. Not only does it taste amazing, it helps you make it through even the toughest, sleepiest days. Vees Cafe in Los Angeles understands the importance of coffee in many people’s day-to-day lives, and that’s why the favorite breakfast spot serves up only the most delicious, high-quality organic coffee. 

Cream or sugar, triple shot or decaf—regardless of how you take your coffee, here’s what you need to know about the little beans responsible for its existence:  

  • Coffee Beans Come From Coffee Cherries: These energizing beans don’t just grow on trees, exactly. They grow inside the shell of coffee cherries, which do grow on trees, and change from green to red. When they’re bright red, they’re ready for picking and harvesting. 
  • One Espresso Shot Equals 40 Beans: At least 40 coffee beans are packed into each espresso shot you guzzled down this morning. When heavily concentrated, these little beans pack quite a punch! image
  • There Are Two Kinds: There are two types of beans grown in the world: Robusta, and Arabica. Arabica has a strong, bitter taste, and contains more caffeine. It makes up 25 percent of the world’s total coffee production. Arabica also has a sweeter, milder flavor, in contrast to Robusta’s more sharp flavor.
  • Daily Coffee Drinkers Bring In A Big Harvest: If you drink two coffee cups a day, in a year, you will consume the harvest of about 18 coffee trees. Choosing organic coffee helps encourage better farming practices and a more wholesome final product.
