Costa Rican Green Coffee Beans

Costa Rican Green coffee beans are primarily grown in the central portion of Costa Rica in the mountainous regions like Tarrazu. These green coffee beans are flavorful and they have a well-balanced acidity.

These green coffee beans have a natural sweetness that can be compared to the sweet flavor of brown sugar. They also have citrusy undertones and fruity, apricot like undertones to their flavor.

In order to create a great cup of coffee you must first have great coffee beans to work with. Coffee beans are grown and harvested in many different countries, but the beans that grow at higher altitudes are considered to be more flavorful, and of a higher quality than beans grown at lower altitudes.

What is a coffee Bean?

A coffee plant produces a fruit that is called a coffee ‘cherry’. The coffee cherry gets its name because it is shaped like a cherry and when it is completely ripe it is red like a cherry.

Inside the coffee cherry are the coffee beans that we use to make coffee drinks from. Normally each coffee cherry contains two beans.

The coffee cherries are normally hand-picked so that the green cherries can be left to ripen. The coffee bean inside the cherry is not completely formed until the cherry has ripened.

Facts about Green Coffee Beans

Green coffee beans do not come from green coffee cherries.

Green coffee beans are extracted from the ripened coffee cherries, but they are called green because the beans are not roasted.

Green coffee beans are unroasted. When a coffee bean is roasted the natural moisture of the bean is removed during the roasting process. The natural sugars in the beans, (that lend to the wonderful flavors the bean produces) are converted from sugar into carbon dioxide, and the remaining sugars are caramelized. The caramelizing of the natural sugars in the beans are what causes the roasted beans to turn brown. This caramelizing also creates the oil that creates the heady aroma and some of the intensity of the flavors that we associate with a good cup of coffee. The longer that a bean is roasted, the more intense, and stronger the flavor of the coffee brewed from the bean.

Green coffee beans are not roasted but are commonly boiled in water for a minimum of fifteen minutes. Once the green coffee beans have been boiled in water the water is then combined with fruit juices, syrups, seltzers, sodas, and other ingredients to create coffee drinks that are lower in caffeine, and amazingly refreshing.

Green coffee bean extract made from boiling the beans in water for at least fifteen minutes is often paired with fruit flavors like cranberry or citrusy flavors like lemon and lime. The Costa Rican green coffee beans have a natural citrusy flavor of their own and this intensifies the flavor combinations when they are paired with these fruit syrups.

Green Coffee Beans Last for Years

Roasted coffee beans have a limited shelf life. Within four to six weeks roasted coffee beans begin to become stale and to lose much of the flavor they have. Green coffee beans can be stored in air tight containers for years and they will retain their flavors and aromas. The containers need to be kept in a cool environment so that the coffee beans do not become overheated.

Roast Your Own Beans

If you want an economical way to have flavor packed coffee then you should consider roasting your own green coffee beans. With these beans you can make the healthy drinks that people desire right now, and you can also roast the beans and create the traditional coffee drinks that people crave. The difference in coffee made from beans you roasted yourself is that the beans are extremely fresh, so they contain more flavor than other roasted coffees and have an intensified aroma.
