Here is a brief description of each option:

• Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain Coffea species. When coffee berries turn from green to bright red in color – indicating ripeness – they are picked, processed, and dried. Dried coffee seeds (referred to as “beans”) are roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor. Roasted beans are ground and then brewed with near-boiling water to produce the beverage known as coffee.
• Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is consumed hot or cold, and is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Tea leaves are processed in one of several ways to produce different types of tea. The most common types of tea are black tea, green tea, oolong tea, and white tea.
• Rubber is an elastic natural polymer derived from the sap of several species of tropical plants. It is used in a wide variety of products, including tires, footwear, and medical devices. Rubber is produced by tapping rubber trees, which are native to Southeast Asia. The sap from the trees is collected and then processed into rubber.
• Spices are a diverse group of flavorful plant-based products used to add flavor to food. They are often used in cooking, but can also be used in cosmetics, perfumes, and other products. Spices can be dried, ground, or whole, and come from a variety of plants, including roots, bark, seeds, and fruits.
