Green coffee beans are the foundation of every great cup of coffee. Before coffee is roasted, brewed, or served, it begins its journey as raw, unroasted coffee beans known as green coffee beans.
At Greenlot Coffee, we work directly with global coffee producers to supply premium green coffee beans to roasters and traders across the UAE and international markets.
What Are Green Coffee Beans?
Green coffee beans are coffee seeds that have been harvested, processed, dried, and prepared for export — but not yet roasted. They retain their natural green color and raw chemical composition, which is essential for developing flavor during roasting.
Once roasted, these beans transform into the aromatic coffee we drink every day.
How Green Coffee Beans Are Produced
The journey of green coffee beans begins at origin:
- Harvesting – Coffee cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness
- Processing – Beans are extracted using washed, natural, or honey methods
- Drying – Moisture is reduced to 10–12%
- Hulling – The outer layers are removed
- Grading & Sorting – Beans are graded by size, density, and defects
- Export Preparation – Packed and shipped to roasters worldwide
Why Green Coffee Beans Matter for Roasters
