With supplies already tight, any dent in the country's crop could be catastrophic. Global coffee demand was rising, particularly for Brazil's high-grade Arabica beans used by Starbucks and other top chains. His research showed, over the past century, the bulk of Brazil's frosts in June and July - the coffee harvest months - took place during low points in sunspot activity.Īt the very least, the 2009-10 season's weather would be temperamental. Sunspot activity was sweeping to the bottom of a three-year cycle. Hackett also added another element to the picture. The green coffee processing involves the harvested coffee being sorted, de-pulped, washed, dried, hulled, graded, and then exported to roasters across the world."I would continue to buy coffee in the most aggressive fashion that your risk tolerance will allow," he wrote in a May 2009 note. "Once this coffee is prepared, it generally has a greenish hue to it, which leads to the seeds being called green coffee," Miller says. The "green" term has nothing to do with environmentalism, it is just the literal color of the coffee bean itself. When coffee roasters receive these processed coffee cherries, or coffee beans, they're roasted until they reach a dark brown hue. Coffee comes from two different species of trees, Arabica and Robusta, each with their own distinct characteristics in flavor, and green coffee comes from both. Green coffee is more expensive to ship than roasted coffee, which is dryer and contains less moisture-so while high-end roasteries will only source green coffee, other coffee brands will want to save on shipping weight by purchasing pre-roasted coffee from wholesalers. Roasted coffee beans can also be imported directly. "Green coffee, in and of itself, isn't edible," Miller says. "Once the coffee is roasted and the cellular walls break down is when the green coffee becomes brittle and is able to be ground for brewing." The roasting process can bring out notes of chocolate, fruits, citrus, nuts, sugars, spices, grains, and many more flavors. Green coffee won't have that typical coffee flavor, or scent, because it's unroasted. Those who get their hands on green coffee can also try their hand at roasting the raw beans, either in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven. It's a fun process to see how coffee goes from green coffee to the coffee we know and love. Roasting dehydrates and shrinks coffee beans, meaning beans will have a higher content of caffeine for their volume-grinding 2 tablespoons of roasted beans to brew versus 2 tablespoons of green coffee will result in a more caffeinated beverage for the roasted beans. Medium roast coffee has been found to have the highest caffeine content (203.63 milligrams per liter), while green coffee has about 166.72 milligrams per liter. However, some people may enjoy drinking green coffee made with a higher ratio of green beans to water, which creates a more caffeinated drink, thanks to the amount of beans used. Ground or crushed green coffee beans can also be used to make a strong cold brew, to be enjoyed on its own or stirred into traditional cold brew coffee. Many people are partial to raw, unroasted green coffee beans, which taste grassy and more like a mild green or herbal tea than like roasted coffee. And much like other raw produce, green coffee contains nutrients that are lost in the cooking process. Green coffee is renowned for having the highest content of chlorogenic acid, at 543.23 milligrams per liter. Chlorogenic acid is a potent antioxident that can also be found in raw apples, artichokes, carrots, grapes (including some wines!), pears, plums, and several other types of produce. Green coffee can be purchased directly from specialty roasteries and online. The beans typically stay fresh for up to a year, stored in a closed container in a cool, dark place. Note that some green coffees may have been harvested months before they ship, which can affect the freshness. To brew a cup of green coffee, start by grinding the beans to your desired coarseness. They are notoriously more difficult to grind, so a hand grinder or strong electric burr grinder may be necessary.

Anything less than professional grade may break-if you don't think your grinder could grind an uncooked, unsoaked black bean, don't use it.
