The fruits, called cherries, start to appear after eight or nine months. At first they are green, then turn to red when they are ripe.

two seeds,
called "coffee beans".

When only one bean develops in a cherry, it is called "peaberry".
The seeds extracted from the cherries are called "green coffee beans".
