This category is designed for curious coffee drinkers who want to explore coffee before roasting, from Dublin to Cork and across Ireland. The flavour, aroma and preparation are completely different from traditional roasted coffee.

What Is Green Coffee?
Green coffee beans are the raw seeds of the coffee fruit that have not gone through the roasting process. Without roasting, the beans keep their natural colour and structure, resulting in a brew that is light, subtle and herbal rather than bold or bitter.
How Does Green Coffee Taste?
Green coffee does not taste like classic coffee. The infusion is mild and delicate, often compared to herbal tea, with slightly grassy or vegetal notes. It is chosen for curiosity and experimentation rather than intensity.
How Green Coffee Is Commonly Prepared
Green coffee is typically steeped rather than brewed. The ground beans are infused in hot water for several minutes, similar to loose-leaf tea. This method gently extracts flavour without roasting aromas.
Grinding Green Coffee – What You Should Know
- Very hard beans: Green coffee beans are denser than roasted coffee.
- Not for standard grinders: Household coffee grinders may struggle.
- Recommended option: Choose pre-ground green coffee unless you use professional equipment.
Who Is Green Coffee For?
- Coffee explorers: Curious about coffee before roasting.
- Home experimenters: Interested in alternative brewing methods.
- Educational use: Understanding coffee origins and processing.
