Organic green coffee beans are beans which have been grown naturally. No chemicals, no harmful pesticides, and no unnatural fertilizers have been used.

This is not only beneficial to the environment, which does indeed get help by recycling, composting, and enriching the soil. It is also better for you, each time you sit back to enjoy a good cup of coffee.

The beans are not called “green” because of these environmental benefits, nor are they green because they are not ripe.

A green coffee bean is one which has not yet been roasted, a necessary process that must be followed, either by the distributor or the consumer, before the beans can be ground and brewed.

While most coffee drinkers find it far more convenient to buy their coffee already roasted, ground, and sealed in a can, more and more people are grinding their own beans, feeling that both the aroma and the taste of the brewed java is fresher.

And now there are those who buy their coffee green, believing that tit lasts longer and stays fresher if it is roasted and ground just before brewing.

Because over ten billion pounds of coffee is consumed yearly, exceeded only by the use of petroleum on the world market, it really is wise to consider using only organically grown coffee.

Yes, it is a bit more expensive, because of the extra man power used, and the speed with which it must be processed. You will pay less for green beans than those which are roasted before sold, but then you will have the responsibility of roasting them and grinding them yourself.

Organic green coffee beans come in almost as many varieties as the pre-roasted beans. You will not have difficulty finding decaffeinated, Hawaiian, Jamaican Blue Mountain, African, or the South American coffees.

Almost all coffee drinkers (and let’s face it, almost everyone drinks coffee) drink a minimum of one cup a day.

By drinking organic coffee, you are lessening the amount of artificial and harmful chemicals that you are ingesting, and you are also helping the environment.

Some say that organic coffee tastes softer and more fruity. Others say it tastes the same, but is fresher, and environmentally safe.

The general consensus among organic green coffee buyers is that these beans stay fresh the longest of all beans. It is their practice to roast them in small batches, and then grind them as used.
