Why Buy Green Coffee Beans

Green coffee beans are the raw, unroasted seeds of the coffee cherry. Roasters, cafés and importers buy green coffee rather than roasted coffee for practical reasons:

• Control of the roast: you decide the roast profile for each origin and each drink on your menu.
• Longer shelf life: stored cool, dry and away from light, green coffee keeps its quality for many months, while roasted coffee fades within weeks.
• Lower cost per kilogram: buying unroasted coffee in volume is cheaper than buying the same coffee roasted.
• Freedom to blend: combine origins and processes to build your own house blends.

Green Coffee Beans: Common Questions

How long do green coffee beans last?

Stored in a cool, dry place away from light, green coffee beans keep their quality for many months, and many roasters use them within a year of arrival. Roasted coffee, by comparison, is best within a few weeks.

Can I grind green coffee beans before roasting?

It is not recommended. Green beans are very hard and dense, and ground coffee roasts unevenly, so roast the whole beans first and grind just before brewing.

What is the minimum order for green coffee beans?

Wholesale pricing starts at 9 metric tons per order. Smaller quantities are available at retail rates with a USD 100 minimum order.

Why are Sumatra green coffee beans so popular?

Sumatran coffees such as Aceh Gayo and Mandheling have a heavy body, low acidity and chocolate and earthy notes, largely from the region’s volcanic highlands and the wet-hulling process. They hold up well in espresso and milk drinks.
