Green Coffee Beans Brazil Santos - unroasted Arabica beans for those who want to roast coffee themselves. Brazil Santos is a classic choice for beginners: the beans are forgiving, uniformly sized, and do not require precise temperature control.

When properly roasted, they produce flavors of nuts, dark chocolate, and caramel with very low acidity. Natural processing adds sweetness.

How to roast at home

• In a pan: medium heat, stirring constantly, 10-15 min. The simplest way to try.
• In the oven: 220 °C, in a single layer on a baking sheet, 12-18 min., shaking every few minutes.
• In a roaster: according to the manufacturer's instructions, until the first or second crack.

The first crack signifies a light roast, the second a dark roast. Brazil Santos tastes best between them, at a medium roast.

Important

Roasting produces a lot of smoke and chaff - work in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Allow roasted beans to rest for 12-24 hours before grinding: during this time, carbon dioxide is released, and the flavor balances out.

Storage

Green beans, stored dry and cool, remain good for several years - much longer than roasted ones. Therefore, it is worth buying them in larger quantities.
