Coffee plants grown with and without pesticides. Coffee is being grown with pesticides in the foreground and without pesticides in the background (beyond the windbreak). Native to Ethiopia, coffee grows as a shrub or small tree. Each fruit contains two coffee beans (technically, they are seeds) that will be dried, roasted, and ground before they can be used to create a cup of coffee.
