£14.00£7.00
Our Arabica Lower Grade (Unroasted) is the practical choice for businesses and roasters prioritizing affordability and supply consistency. While this bean is visually lower in grade than Grade 1 or 2 Arabica (meaning it contains a higher tolerance for physical defects like broken or immature beans, and less uniformity), it provides the fundamental mild flavor profile and smoother acidity associated with the Arabica species at a highly competitive price point.
High Cost-Efficiency: This grade is the most budget-friendly Arabica option, making it perfect for operations that purchase in bulk for high-volume use or need to manage ingredient costs tightly.
Milder Base Flavor: Despite the lower grade, the inherent genetics of the Arabica bean mean it will yield a cup that is generally smoother and less intensely bitter than lower-grade Robusta.
Ideal for Blending: This unroasted bean serves as an excellent, cost-effective base for creating custom blends. It provides the signature soft texture and mild aromatics of Arabica, allowing you to combine it with high-grade beans or Robusta to balance both price and cup characteristics.
Due to the visual inconsistencies (varied bean size and higher defect count), achieving a flawless roast profile can be challenging. We recommend roasting this bean to a Medium or Medium-Dark level to minimize the impact of any defects and develop the reliable, classic nutty and chocolate notes that are common in commercial Arabica.
