Low caffeine coffee Low caffeine coffee is a term that is used by coffee producers to describe coffee that has not been subjected to a process of decaffeination, but is substantially lower in caffeine than average coffee. Samples of coffee vary widely in caffeine levels due to many factors, some well documented (such as genetics) and some not fully understood, such as the action of soil, water levels and sunlight.

The trees produce edible red or purple fruits called ""cherries"" that are described either as epigynous berries or as indehiscent drupes. These contain two seeds, called ""coffee beans"", though they are not true beans. In about 5–10% of any crop of coffee cherries, only a single bean is found. Called a peaberry, it is smaller and rounder than a normal coffee bean. These are often removed from the yield and either sold separately or discarded. When grown"
"Coffee bean A coffee bean is a seed of the coffee plant and the source for coffee. It is the pit inside the red or purple fruit often referred to as a cherry. Just like ordinary cherries, the coffee fruit is also a so-called stone fruit. Even though the coffee beans are seeds, they are referred to as ""beans"" because of their resemblance to true beans. The fruits – coffee cherries or coffee berries – most commonly contain two stones with their flat sides together. A small percentage of cherries contain a single seed, instead of the usual two. This"
"Fruit tree A fruit tree is a tree which bears fruit that is consumed or used by humans and some animals — all trees that are flowering plants produce fruit, which are the ripened ovaries of flowers containing one or more seeds. In horticultural usage, the term 'fruit tree' is limited to those that provide fruit for human food. Types of fruits are described and defined elsewhere (see Fruit), but would include ""fruit"" in a culinary sense, as well as some nut-bearing trees, such as walnuts. The scientific study and the cultivation of fruits is called pomology, which divides fruits"

Most commonly cultivated coffee species grow best at high elevations, but do not tolerate freezing temperatures. The tree of ""Coffea arabica"" will grow fruits after three to five years, producing for an average of 50 to 60 years, although up to 100 is possible. The white flowers are highly scented.

"""Coffea arabica"" and ""Coffea canephora"", are processed to extract the coffee beans. In many rural areas of the world, fruit is gathered from forest trees for consumption. Many trees bear edible nuts which can loosely be described as being large, oily kernels found inside a hard shell. These include coconuts (""Cocos nucifera""), Brazil nuts (""Bertholletia excelsa""), pecans (""Carya illinoinensis""), hazel nuts (""Corylus""), almonds (""Prunus dulcis""), walnuts (""Juglans regia""), pistachios (""Pistacia vera"") and many others.

Accessory fruit An accessory fruit (sometimes called ""false fruit"", ""spurious fruit"", ""pseudofruit"", or ""pseudocarp"") is a fruit in which some of the flesh is derived not from the ovary but from some adjacent tissue exterior to the carpel.

Apples, pears, plums, cherries and citrus are all grown commercially in temperate climates and a wide range of edible fruits are found in the tropics. Other commercially important fruit include dates, figs and olives. Palm oil is obtained from the fruits of the oil palm (""Elaeis guineensis""). The fruits of the cocoa tree (""Theobroma cacao"") are used to make cocoa and chocolate and the berries of coffee trees,"

The origin of the tree's genus name is uncertain, but its species name """"stellatifolium"""" (meaning ""star-leaved"" or "") is a reference to the star-shaped whorls in which its leaves grow.

The peaberry occurs only between 10 and 15% of the time, and it is a fairly common (yet scientifically unproven) belief that they have more flavour than normal coffee beans. Like Brazil nuts (a seed) and white rice, coffee beans consist mostly of endosperm. The two most economically important varieties of coffee plant are the Arabica and the Robusta; ~60% of the coffee produced worldwide is Arabica and ~40% is Robusta. Arabica beans consist of 0.8–1.4% caffeine and Robusta beans consist of 1.7–4% caffeine. As coffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, coffee"

"In common language usage, ""fruit"" normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of a plant that are sweet or sour, and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. On the other hand, in botanical usage, ""fruit"" includes many structures that are not commonly called ""fruits"", such as bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains. The section of a fungus that produces spores is also called a fruiting body. Many common terms for seeds and fruit do not correspond to the botanical classifications.
