Coffee Cuisine

One of the characteristics of the coffee bean is that it ferments well. Fermentation is the process of making alcohol from organics with a high sugar content. The word "qahwa" in Arabic means wine. Qahwa is the origin of the word coffee. In Europe, coffee was called "the wine of Arabia." Fermenting the coffee berry is still done today in Ethiopia and some Arabian countries. It is not commonly known that the coffee berry can be fermented.
