Top-Tier Green Robusta: Ready for Your Custom Specialty Roast.
£18.00£10.00
This is the top-tier of the Robusta species, selected specifically for professionals and home roasters who demand maximum performance, high caffeine, and minimal defects. Our Grade 1 Unroasted Robusta beans represent the pinnacle of quality control for this variety, ensuring superior bean uniformity and cleanliness for a smooth, consistent roast every time.
Exceptional Cleanliness: Grade 1 classification guarantees the lowest possible defect count and highest uniformity in bean size. This is crucial for home or small-batch roasting, as uniform beans absorb heat consistently, preventing burnt or underdeveloped spots and ensuring a cleaner, less harsh final cup.
Maximum Caffeine Potential: As high-grade Robusta, these beans are naturally packed with the intense caffeine (often 2.5% or more by weight) that the species is known for, providing a pure, powerful energy base.
Superior Flavor Precursors: Unlike lower-grade Robusta, which may carry earthy or woody off-flavors from poor processing, this quality-controlled green bean has the potential to develop surprisingly complex notes (often of dark chocolate, spice, and nutty undertones) when roasted correctly.
What it Gives You
Roasting Precision: The uniformity of Grade 1 beans makes it easier to achieve your desired roast level, from medium-dark (for classic espresso body and crema) to dark (for ultimate strength).
The Best Blending Component: Use it to create your own signature blends, adding an unrivaled crema stability and a powerful caffeine kick to any Arabica base, without introducing undesirable harshness.
Long-Term Freshness: Stored correctly, green coffee retains its quality for a much longer period than roasted beans, giving you the flexibility to roast only what you need, ensuring peak freshness in every batch.
