All About Coffee Beans

Phases of Coffee Roasting

GREEN BEANS

GREEN BEANS

Unroasted coffee beans that have not developed any characteristic flavors yet. Aroma is fresh, herbal, and plant-like. Green beans are hard and in raw state before the roasting process begins.

Early Yellow

Early Yellow

Coffee beans start to take on a darker, richer color. This is when they expand and release gases formed during roasting "first crack". They develop their initial flavors, and brighter, more acidic notes. Beans are light and have retained much of their origin flavors, with acidity being prominent.

Second Crack

Second Crack

Flavors become deeper and more intense, with a noticeable reduction in acidity. Smokier, bitter, and richer flavors begin to dominate, as the roasting process takes over the origin characteristics. Beans become oily, and the flavor is much more intense, with a heavier body

Italian Roast

Italian Roast

Coffee beans are fully dark roasted and shine with the oil released during the process. The flavor is very bitter with a prominent smoky and burnt taste. Any acidity is almost entirely gone, and the flavor is dominated by the roasting process itself.

Peaberry & 2 Flat berry

A peaberry is a rare coffee bean mutation where only one round seed forms instead of two—about 5% of cherries. Many say it offers brighter, more complex flavor and needs lower-density. Peaberries are usually hand-sorted and sold separately.

Peaberry

Flatberry: The standard coffee bean—two seeds grow inside the cherry, giving each bean a flat side. Common and consistent.

Peaberry: A natural mutation—only one round seed forms instead of two. Rarer (around 5%), often believed to have brighter flavor and a more even roast.

What Is Natural Process Coffee?

Before coffee ever meets the roaster, it undergoes a processing method at origin—and the natural process is one of the oldest, boldest, and most character-packed of them all.

In this method, whole coffee cherries are laid out to dry under the sun, fruit and all. As moisture evaporates from the fruit or patios, their natural sugars ferment and seep into the bean, layering it with deep sweetness and vibrant fruit notes. It's a process that demands time, attention, and plenty of sunshine—but the payoff is huge.

"Animal-Processed Specialty Coffees"

Coffee that involves animals usually refers to beans that have been eaten and passed through an animal’s digestive system before being collected, cleaned, and processed. This creates unusual flavor profiles

Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee)

Civet cats eat coffee cherries, and enzymes in their digestion alter the beans' flavor. The beans are later collected from droppings. Famous but often controversial due to unethical farming.
