Green coffee beans are a reminder that greatness often starts from humble beginnings.

Green coffee beans are the unroasted seeds or beans of the coffee plant, scientifically known as Coffea. They are the raw, natural state of coffee before they undergo the roasting process that gives them the familiar brown color and aromatic flavor we associate with coffee.

When coffee cherries (the fruit of the coffee plant) are harvested, the outer skin is removed to reveal the seeds or beans inside. These beans are initially green in color and have a slightly grassy smell. 

Green coffee beans contain various chemical compounds, including chlorogenic acid, which is believed to have potential health benefits.

Green coffee beans are primarily used in the production of coffee beverages but have gained popularity in recent years as a dietary supplement due to claims about their potential weight loss and antioxidant properties.

 However, it’s important to note that research on these potential benefits is still ongoing, and the use of green coffee extract for health purposes should be approached with caution.

Roasting the green coffee beans transforms them into the familiar aromatic coffee beans used to brew coffee. The roasting process significantly alters the flavour, aroma, and chemical composition of the beans, resulting in a diverse range of coffee flavors, from light to dark roasts.
