nope. cofee plant and cocoa tree. im not too sure about the names of the trees but they come from different sources.

i spent my summers growing up in my grandparents' house in the province where they have a parcel of land planted with coca trees (its called cacao there). anyways, when the fruits, (oblong in shape and big) are ripe, we rip open the fruits and eat the flesh which is sweet. the seeds are dried up, processed to make cocoa.

i know for a fact that there are coffee plants. theyre relatively smaller in size than the cacaos. its like a shrub and the coffee are like small fruits that are harvested then processed.

Coffee beans grown on coffee tree's were first exported from Ethiopia to Yemen. The Arabs called it "qahwe" (wine) and the Turks called it kahve. The word entered Italian as caffè subsequently translating to English as Coffee in 1598.

Cocoa is the dried and partially fermented fatty seed of the cacao tree from which chocolate is made. In the United States, 'cocoa' often refers to cocoa powder, the dry powder made by grinding cocoa seeds and removing the cocoa butter from the dark, bitter cocoa solids.

A cocoa pod has a rough leathery rind about 3 cm thick (this varies with the origin and variety of pod). It is filled with sweet, mucilaginous pulp called 'baba de cacao' in South America, enclosing 30 to 50 large almond-like seeds (beans) that are fairly soft and pinkish or purplish in color.

from different tree's: coffee and cocoa...

nope, they're totally different...

coffee comes from coffee beans from a coffee tree.
cocoa comes from a cocoa plant and is used in chocolate (dark chocolate is made from mainly cocoa, that's why it is bitter)
