Are "green" and "unroasted" coffee beans the same?

Yes, despite the name, coffee beans are actually seeds, not vegetables. When "seeds" or beans are removed from the fruits of coffee plants, they are green. Then, after they were roasted, they showed their characteristic dark brown. Dry and wash the green coffee beans to prepare for roasting. This is the state where you will receive them.

What kind of coffee beans are the best?

It depends on your preference. Although all coffee beans will show different flavor characteristics of the region where they grow, most coffee beans will be one of two types: Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee.

Arabica trees produce fewer beans, but these beans will be very delicious and fragrant. Their taste is complex and unique, suitable for most mixtures, which is why they are so popular.

Robusta coffee beans are richer and more caffeinated, but less subtle. These beans are usually combined with Arabica coffee to test different flavors and bold features. They are also the most popular espresso beer.

If you visit our website, you will find detailed descriptions of all our legume products. Some of them will be different because of the country in which they are grown. Others have the flavor that we use a variety of beans from all over the world.

Introduction to Coffee

The fruit of a coffee plant is often called "coffee fruit" and usually takes about eight months to ripen before harvest. After harvesting the cherries, treat them with wet or dry method.

In wet processing, the skin and flesh of cherries are removed by immersing crops in water and pressing them over a sieve. Remove the remaining pulp by fermentation or mechanical washing. After the beans have been fully cleaned, put them in the sun or in a machine to dry.

Natural processing is the oldest method of coffee processing. The coffee fruit dries in the sun. They may take up to four weeks to reach the preferred moisture content. Then the dried cherries are sent to the factory for sorting and shelling.

After raw coffee beans have been cleaned and processed, they can be packaged and transported to the coffee roaster at any time. Some types of raw coffee beans may age for several years, which reduces their acidity. Others can be further processed to reduce their caffeine content and classified as decaffeinated.
