Your guide to Green Coffee Beans

  • Where to buy green coffee beans in the UK?

    We are the leading provider for small quantities of green coffee beans online, with free shipping on all UK orders. We offer a wide range of unroasted coffee beans in quantities from 0.5kg to 30kg from an extensive array of regions, including Ethiopia, Colombia and Brazil.

  • How to choose the best green coffee beans for home roasting?

    When selecting green coffee beans for home roasting, several factors come into play. The country of origin, processing method, and varietal all influence flavour. Brazilian coffee often has nutty, chocolatey notes, while Ethiopian beans are typically bright and fruity. Processing also makes a difference - washed coffees tend to be clean and crisp, while natural and honey-processed beans bring out more fruitiness. Experimental methods can push flavour even further, creating complex and unexpected profiles. The species and varietal also have a huge impact, shaping everything from acidity to body in the final cup.

    The best green coffee beans for you will depend on the flavours you enjoy and how much control you want over the roast. If you’re new to roasting, start with a balanced, versatile coffee like a washed Colombian or Brazilian lot. For more adventurous profiles, try a natural Ethiopian or an experimental microlot.

  • How to roast green coffee beans at home?

    Roasting green coffee beans at home is easier than you might think, and it’s a great way to unlock their full flavour potential.

    You can use simple tools like a stovetop popcorn maker, an oven, or a home coffee roaster. Start by preheating your equipment, then stir the beans consistently for an even roast. As they heat up, you’ll hear cracks—these signal different roasting stages. A light roast enhances fruity, acidic notes, while a darker roast brings out richer, bolder flavours.

    Once you’ve reached your preferred roast level, cool the beans quickly to lock in the flavour. For more tips, check out our guide: How to Start Roasting Coffee at Home: All Your Questions Answered!

Your questions, answered

What is the Green Coffee Collective?

We’re a community of coffee producers and sourcing experts, all working together to make green coffee easy to access—whether you’re a hobby roaster at home or a professional roasting hundreds of tonnes a year. Our platform is designed to simplify buying green coffee, just like any other online shopping experience. No fuss, just great coffee at your fingertips.

Can I buy green coffee beans in bulk?

Yes, we offer both small and bulk quantities. Whether you're a home roaster or a professional, we have flexible options ranging from 0.5kg to 30kg to suit your needs.

Are green coffee beans the same as raw coffee beans?

Yes, 'green coffee beans' and 'raw coffee beans' refer to the same thing—unroasted coffee beans that are ready for roasting.

How do I order green coffee beans online?

Simply browse our selection, choose your preferred beans, and place your order. We offer fast free shipping across the UK.

How long do unroasted coffee beans last?

When stored properly, unroasted coffee beans can stay fresh for up to 12 months. It’s best to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will preserve their quality and flavour until you're ready to roast them.

What's the difference between green coffee beans and roasted coffee beans?

Green coffee beans are unroasted and have a grassy, neutral flavour. When roasted, the beans undergo chemical changes that develop the flavours and aromas we associate with coffee. Roasting is essential for unlocking the full potential of the beans, transforming them into the flavours you enjoy in your daily cup.

Are your coffees ethically and sustainably sourced?

Absolutely! We source all our coffees either directly from producers or through trusted sourcing partners who are just as committed to ethical practices as we are. We take the time to ensure the people behind the coffee are treated fairly. If you want to learn more, you can dive into our values.

What’s the difference between green and brown coffee beans, and are green coffee beans unroasted?

Yes, green coffee beans are unroasted, while brown coffee beans are roasted and ready for brewing. The main difference is that green beans are raw and need roasting to develop the rich flavours we associate with coffee. Green beans taste grassy until roasted, while brown beans unlock complex flavours. At Green Coffee Collective, we provide top-quality green beans for home roasting, giving you full control over your coffee's taste.

How long do green coffee beans last, and how do you store them long term?

Properly stored, green coffee beans can last up to a year or more without losing quality. To store them long term, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Airtight containers work best to protect them from humidity and odours.
