What Are Green Coffee Beans?

Green coffee beans are raw, unroasted coffee seeds: the processed and dried core of the coffee cherry before any roasting. Roasters buy green because it keeps for a year or more (roasted coffee fades in weeks), ships efficiently in 60kg jute bags, and lets them control the roast profile. Every bag of specialty coffee in the world starts as green coffee from an origin like Uganda. Nonda exports it direct: robusta from the Lake Victoria basin and washed arabica from Mount Elgon.

How Long Do Green Coffee Beans Last?

Stored right, green coffee holds quality for 12 months or more, which is exactly why roasters buy unroasted. Our export lots ship in jute bags with GrainPro liners to lock moisture at 10.5 to 12.5 percent. Keep them cool, dry and off concrete floors, and this year's Ugandan crop roasts clean until the next one lands.

Green Coffee Beans FAQ

Where can I buy green coffee beans?
You can buy green coffee beans from importers and resellers in your country, or direct from an exporter at origin like Nonda Coffee. Direct origin buying gets you current-crop lots, farmgate traceability and one less margin in the chain. We ship worldwide from 60kg single bags to full containers, with free samples first.
Are green coffee beans and unroasted coffee beans the same thing?
Yes. Green coffee, raw coffee and unroasted coffee all describe the same product: dried, milled coffee seeds before roasting. The green-gray color comes from the dried seed itself, not from being unripe.
What is the minimum order?
One 60kg bag. Small volumes ship by air freight or LCL sea consolidation, and our store sells small home-roasting bags of the same export lots. Container buyers get contract pricing on 320-bag FCL volumes.
How are your green coffee beans priced?
On a differential to the exchange (London robusta, New York arabica) or fixed at contract, depending on your preference. Because we sell at origin there is no importer margin or warehouse fee stacked on top. Request a quote for live offers on any grade.
Do you ship green coffee beans to the USA and Europe?
Yes. Cargo exits via Mombasa: roughly 18 to 25 days to European ports and 30 to 38 days to US East Coast ports, with full export documentation. Duty-free access applies under AGOA (USA) and EBA (EU) schemes for Ugandan coffee.
