• I don't understand the difference between green coffee beans and roasted coffee beans? What does GREEN coffee beans mean?

 

Green coffee beans is the industry name for raw, unroasted coffee. You need to roast these beans before they smell and taste like "coffee". Green coffee beans are undrinkable; roasting green coffee beans is what brings the aroma and flavor that we associate with the coffee drink. However, once beans are roasted, they begin the process of going stale. Freshly roasted coffee is best drunk within a week or two. Green coffee beans, properly stored, can be stored for up to a year before roasting for optimal freshness.

 

• What is a "peaberry" coffee bean?

 

The coffee fruit (cherry) has seeds that split into two "coffee beans," like Siamese twins, upon maturity and processing. However, a few beans do not split and mature into a single, small berry, called peaberry in the international coffee markets. Peaberry beans are unique with intense flavors. We like to roast them for single-origin espresso.
