Kona Green Coffee Beans

Prior to being roasted coffee is referred to as “green coffee” due to its emerald green color. Kona green bean is classified into several standardized grades based upon bean size (typically called “screen size” since screens with varying hole sizes are used in the separation process). This classification helps ensure bean size uniformity and facilitates even consistent roasts. Once the beans have been sized, they are run over a gravity separator to eliminate beans with various kinds of defects.

Four grades of Greenwell green bean now offered:

Kona Extra Fancy- largest beans with the fewest defects	$22.50/ lb.
Kona Fancy- large beans	$18.75/lb.
Kona No. 1- value grade	$16.75/lb.
Kona Peaberry- small “round” beans very dense	$18.60/lb.

Since everyone’s palate is different, the best thing is to just experiment with using different grades, and various levels of roast.

A typical roaster will hold up to a 1/4 cup of green coffee, which yields a 10 cup pot of coffee.
