The Coffee Plant's Grand Life Cycle

Fun Fact

Did you know that coffee beans are actually the seeds found inside the fruit of the coffee plant? These fruits, called coffee cherries, are usually bright red when ripe and contain two seeds inside, which we then roast and grind to make our favorite coffee drinks!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Green Vibrancy - Use various shades of green, like olive, lime, and forest green, for the different leaves of the seedling and mature plant to show depth and growth.
2. 2🖍️ Delicate Blooms - The coffee flowers are often white and delicate. Use very light grays, creams, or even a touch of pale yellow to give them subtle dimension without making them dark.
3. 3✨ Cherry Richness - For the ripe coffee cherries, choose bright, deep reds. Add tiny highlights with a lighter red or even a touch of white to make them look glossy and plump.
4. 4🌈 Busy Bee Details - Give the friendly bee its classic yellow and black stripes. Use a very light blue or purple for its translucent wings to make them look airy and delicate.
