Origins of coffee flavors

The origin of coffee was explained in a legend about the "flying goat." It is said that a goat rancher discovered the effects of coffee after notice that when his goats ate the cherries of a specific plant, they gained high quantity of energy causing them to "dance" or "fly." Some of the different process of drying the beans was also discussed.

There are basically two major ways to process the beans. They are either the dry or natural process, which allows the flavor of the cherries to come out more distinct in the final product. The other is by washing the cherries off of the beans. Each of the numerous countries where coffee is grown has their own way of doing it, and each of them believes their process is the best. These two processes finally lend themselves to specific descriptions of the coffee flavor, naturally resulting in an "earthy" or "dirty" flavor, and the wash having a "clean" taste.
