green coffee

Before the roaster

Green coffee is coffee beans in their raw, unroasted state—still pale green or yellowish rather than the familiar brown.

Roasting transforms green coffee into the aromatic beans used for brewing.

Green coffee extract gained popularity as a dietary supplement marketed for weight loss, though claims remain disputed.

The warehouse stored tons of green coffee awaiting shipment to roasters.
