Coffee Beans and Berries (IMAGE) University of Utah Caption Coffee berries dry on a screen in the foreground while an Ethiopian woman handles coffee beans in the basket. Once the berries are dried, they are crushed with a wood mortar and pestle, and the beans are separated from the dried husks, resulting in the green coffee beans shown in the basket. University of Utah ornithologists found that Arabica coffee farms shaded by tree canopies in Ethiopia are almost as bird-friendly as forests. Credit Evan Buechley, University of Utah.
