Smokin Beans Colombia Washed Unroasted Green Arabica Coffee Beans 5-Lb, 1ct

Was a great taste But really need a roaster Oven works as well

I have yet to roast, but my goodness! It smells fantastic u roasted! Just like blackberries. The bean consistency is not really there. There are little sized beans and large beans in a given bag, but that is to be expected. Will do an update after roasting. They sent packaging along with the beans saying that you can save around 10% by purchasing them through Etsy or Village of Artisans. I will probably be doing that in the future. Also, you can get free samples from smokinbeans.com. Update- Roasted the beans and there seems to be a sour/acidic taste to the beans. There is definitely notes of blackberry as well some chocolatey hints as well. Definitely more of a light to medium roast sort of coffee. Overall, is a good deal and worth a shot at making more roasts with.

So far I have done a dark roast and a medium roast coffee with these green Columbia Coffee beans. Both have turned out really well. The burlap bag I got had a hole in it and was worthless to hold green beans. I tossed it. This was a good value but was disappointed in the burlap bag.

I bought a 5 lb. bag of this over six years ago . I roasted it in very small batches using a hot air popcorn popper . This coffee was very robust ( roasted dark ) and delicious . About a pound never got roasted . I wrapped it tightly and put it in the back of a cupboard . I forgot about it until recently ( it's been over 6 years now ) . So I roasted it up using the same method . It tasted just as good as the day I bought it . Since it keeps so well , I'm going to buy more . I like this brand of coffee ./

FAST SERVICE GREAT BEANS

Excellent quality!

We love coffee. We have been buying coffee from all over the world for several years. After watching several videos on roasting your own coffee we decided to take the plunge and purchase bulk green coffee beans. Although it takes a little practice to get the roasting part squared away the final product is some of the best, freshest coffee I have tasted. The green coffee beans store for a lifetime unlike already roasted coffee that begins to decline in quality almost before it makes to the store. After roasting and drinking several pounds of home roasted coffee the difference it very apparent. I have roasted these beans for friends, family and co workers and they all have enjoyed the flavor of fresh roasted coffee. If you love quality coffee and don't mind a little work to get it than you cannot go wrong with Expo Cafe green coffee beans. We have tried the Ethiopian,the Columbia and will be making another order for more soon. I shared some pictures of green coffee before and after roasting.

I was not able to pull a good shot. I changed the recipe and the grind, but always came out sour. I did notice that the darker I roasted, the better the taste.
