Dear students,

In life, two things often control how people use money: Fear and Greed (Desire).

Fear makes people take jobs they don’t enjoy, wake up early, work hard for low pay all because they’re scared of being broke. They stay in the same routine, not because they love it, but because they fear losing money.

Greed kicks in when the salary arrives. They start admiring every nice thing new phones, clothes, fun and spend without a plan. Soon the money is gone, and debts follow. They complain about their salary but don’t take steps to change their situation.

Many people think money will bring lasting joy, but the joy it brings is short-lived. The more they get, the more they want. This cycle turns people into high-paid slaves, trapped by fear and uncontrolled desire.

The real cause of financial struggle is not the economy it’s fear, greed, and lack of knowledge.

Learn. Plan. Control your money or it will control you.

Be wise with money. Be free.

Coffee production is a complex process that involves several key stages, from growing the coffee cherries to roasting the beans. Here's a general overview:  

1. Cultivation:

Growing Conditions:
Coffee plants thrive in tropical climates with specific temperature and rainfall requirements.  
They are often grown in mountainous regions.
Two main species are cultivated: Arabica and Robusta.  
Planting and Care:
Coffee seedlings are typically grown in nurseries before being transplanted.

 
Care involves pruning, fertilizing, and protecting the plants from pests and diseases.  
Harvesting:
Coffee cherries are harvested when they are ripe, typically indicated by their red color.  
Harvesting can be done by hand or by machine.  
Selective picking, where only ripe cherries are harvested, is often used for high-quality coffee.  
2. Processing:

Methods:
There are several methods for processing coffee cherries, including:
Dry process (natural): The cherries are dried in the sun, and the dried fruit is then removed.  
Wet process (washed): The pulp is removed from the cherries, and the beans are fermented and washed before drying.  
Semi-washed (honey process): A hybrid method that involves partially removing the pulp.  
Drying:
After processing, the coffee beans are dried to reduce their moisture content.  
3. Roasting:

Transformation:
Roasting transforms the green coffee beans into the brown beans we know.
The roasting process develops the coffee's flavor and aroma.  
Roast Levels:
Different roast levels (light, medium, dark) result in different flavor profiles.  
4. Grinding and Brewing:

Grinding:
Roasted coffee beans are ground to increase their surface area for brewing.  
Brewing:
Various brewing methods are used to extract the flavor from the ground coffee, including drip brewing, French press, espresso, and others.  
Key Factors:

Species: Arabica beans generally produce a more flavorful and aromatic coffee, while Robusta beans are hardier and have a higher caffeine content.  
Origin: The origin of the coffee beans significantly influences their flavor.  
Processing: The processing method used affects the coffee's flavor and characteristics.  
Coffee production is a vital industry that supports millions of people worldwide.
