Sourcing and buying the best coffee beans. Pat Grant, Master Roaster, Greenbean Coffee Roasters

How to source and buy the very best coffee beans. Pat Grant, Greenbean’s Master Roaster, explodes a few myths about buying coffee. Great coffee is ultimately all about one thing; it’s all about great beans. The quality of the coffee beans from every region, every country and every estate varies from year to year, depending on a range of factors too numerous to list. We buy the season’s best Arabica coffee beans each year and because we’re a relatively small roaster, we can afford to turn down everything but the very best. Once green beans are shipped home to our roastery, we go about the business of transforming the year’s best beans into the exquisite blends that bear our name.

Enormous care and attention goes into transforming the raw green beans into the wonderful coffee we supply but it’s a fundamental fact that if the beans aren’t excellent to begin with, neither will the coffee be excellent. This is why Greenbean Coffee Roasters is the choosiest buyer in the market. This is why we seek out the world’s best growers, this is why we roast and taste a sample of every batch of coffee we buy. This is why we never let our standards slip.

Great beans are a prerequisite of great coffee. It’s possible to make bad coffee with great beans but you simply can’t make coffee that tastes as good as Greenbean without great beans.

We understand that there’s more to making a truly great cup of coffee than having the best beans. The machine, the barista’s training, the environment, and how the coffee is presented all contribute. This is why we supply the best machines available, have a comprehensive support and training programme and we produce the very best merchandise and promotional material. Our business is to help your business. It’s what we do.
