What is Green Coffee?
Before roasting, every coffee bean is green. Here is what that means — and how to enjoy it.
Green coffee is simply coffee before it has been roasted. It is the dried seed of the coffee cherry — pale green to grey-green in colour, hard, and with a grassy smell that is nothing like the coffee you know.
Green vs roasted
- Green coffee is raw and unroasted. It tastes light and gently grassy — closer to a herbal infusion than a cup of roasted coffee.
- Roasted coffee has been heated until the beans turn brown and develop the rich aromas, flavours and oils we associate with coffee.
