Buy unroasted coffee beans

There are several reasons why buying unroasted coffee beans is worthwhile. One advantage of unroasted coffee beans is that you have the opportunity to experiment with different roasting methods and flavours at home. By controlling the roasting process yourself, you can adjust the taste of the coffee to your personal preference.

In addition, unroasted coffee beans have a longer shelf life than roasted beans. Because the roasting process causes the oils in the beans to be released, roasted beans have a shorter shelf life than unroasted beans. As a result, you can use unroasted beans longer and need to buy new beans less often. Isn't that nice!

Deliciously fresh coffee

You can roast unroasted coffee beans yourself to make a deliciously fresh cup of coffee. Roasting coffee yourself has a few advantages. If you buy already-roasted coffee from the shop, it has taken a while for it to hit the shelves. This is because the vast majority of coffee is grown in the southern hemisphere and has already had quite a journey before it reaches the shops here.

Furthermore, coffee beans are more susceptible to mould and bacteria when they have already been roasted. Consequently, this often does not improve the quality. The moulds and bacteria give the coffee a sour and bitter taste. Of course, this is a waste of the delicious coffee and it is not necessary at all. The solution is to roast your coffee yourself. This allows you to keep the taste and quality of the coffee entirely in your own hands. Roasting coffee is also relatively easy and gives you the most delicious aromatic coffee you could wish for.

Drinking unroasted coffee

Of course, you don't necessarily have to roast your coffee. You can also enjoy a cup of unroasted coffee. Not only is it extremely tasty, it is also heart healthy. The taste of unroasted coffee beans is a bit different from the roasted variety. The taste of unroasted coffee is slightly sweet and a bit stronger than that of the roasted version. The colour is also different from that of the roasted version; it is a bit lighter with a dark green glow. The unroasted coffee variety gives you huge energy and is known as a health drink. Many athletes therefore take a cup of green coffee before they get active, for that extra bit of energy. Because the beans are not roasted, they contain more caffeine than the roasted variety, which contributes to that extra energy boost. An added benefit is that this unroasted coffee variety also helps you reduce your body weight!

Unroasted beans

Unroasted coffee beans, also known as green coffee beans, are the unroasted variant of the coffee bean. Unroasted coffee beans have a different taste from roasted coffee beans and are known for their health benefits. Unroasted coffee beans contain more antioxidants than roasted beans and have a higher caffeine content, providing an extra energy boost.

Roasting coffee beans is a process that greatly affects the flavour and aroma of the coffee. Roasting gives the beans their characteristic flavour and colour. But if you like the pure taste of coffee, it is definitely worth trying unroasted beans. It is important to store the beans at altitude and drink them within the specified period on the packaging to preserve the best flavour.

How long can you store unroasted coffee beans?

You can store unroasted coffee beans for a very long time, provided you store the beans properly. It is important to remember that coffee beans have an expiry date and their flavour and aroma decrease over time. In general, unroasted coffee beans can be stored for up to 6 months. Some sources even suggest they have a shelf life of up to 12 months if stored properly.

To best preserve unroasted coffee beans, they should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry and dark place away from moisture, heat and light. It is also important not to grind the beans until you are ready to make coffee, as ground coffee spoils faster than whole beans.

If you notice that the beans start to lose their flavour and aroma over time, it is probably time to buy new beans.
