Key Green Coffee Bean Characteristics
Screen Size
Measured in 1/64-inch increments. Larger beans (18–20) indicate premium quality; screen consistency ensures even roasting and predictable development.
Defect Count
Primary defects include black beans, fungal damage, and insect damage. Secondary defects include chips and small beans. Lower defect counts indicate higher quality.
Moisture Content
Optimal range is 10–12%. Too high moisture affects storage; too low reduces shelf life. Precise measurement ensures stable roasting characteristics.
Bean Density
Hard, medium, or soft classification. Density affects roasting time and heat absorption. Hard beans develop slowly; soft beans roast quickly.
Cupping Notes
Professional flavor evaluation describing body, acidity, flavor, finish, and overall character. Helps roasters predict final coffee profile after roasting.
Color Grade
Green bean color ranges from pale to dark green. Uniformity indicates consistent processing. Discoloration may signal quality or storage concerns.
Cupping Notes & Flavor Profiles
Cupping is the professional method for evaluating green coffee flavor potential. Leelaprasad provides detailed cupping notes for every green bean lot, helping roasters understand flavor character and roasting potential.
Body
The weight and texture of the coffee on the palate — light, medium, or full-bodied.
Acidity
Brightness and tanginess of flavor — ranging from low to vibrant.
Flavor Notes
Descriptive tasting notes like nutty, earthy, fruity, or chocolate.
Aroma
Fragrance characteristics of the beans and brewed coffee.
Finish
The aftertaste and lingering flavor after swallowing.
Overall Score
Comprehensive rating reflecting cup quality and roasting potential.
Storage & Handling of Green Beans
Proper storage preserves green coffee quality and flavor potential:
- Temperature: 15–20°C (59–68°F) for optimal storage
- Humidity: 50–60% relative humidity maintains bean condition
- Packaging: Jute bags with moisture barriers prevent water absorption
- Ventilation: Allow air circulation to prevent condensation
- Rotation: FIFO (First In, First Out) ensures freshness
- Isolation: Keep away from strong odors and direct sunlight
Properly stored green beans maintain quality for 6–12 months.
