Delivery & VAT
Green coffee is held in stock at our Guildford roastery, so it is ready to dispatch, Monday to Friday. Coffee is zero-rated, so the price you see is the price you pay. Free UK mainland delivery on orders of £25 and over — see Delivery & Returns for lead times and surcharges.
Storing green coffee
Keep it somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from strong smells, and reseal the bag between roasts. Stored well, green coffee typically holds its quality for six to twelve months — far longer than roasted coffee.

Roasting guide
- Density
- Medium to low — grown at around 1,100 m
- Watch for
- Scorching or tipping if the charge is too hot
Brazilian naturals are softer than high-grown coffees, so charge cooler and let the heat build gradually. Medium brings out caramel sweetness and a gentle acidity. Medium-dark adds body, chocolate depth and hazelnut for espresso and milk drinks. A forgiving coffee to learn a roaster on.

A starting point, not a recipe. Roasters, batch sizes and airflow all differ, so test a small batch and adjust to taste.
The coffee
Origin and background
Brazil Finca Cachoeira Natural is an unroasted, speciality-grade natural from the Cerrado, with an SCA score of 83. It is a dependable chocolate-and-nut Brazilian for roasteries and cafés that roast in-house.
Origin and producer
Finca Cachoeira lies in the Cerrado region of Minas Gerais, at around 1,100 m. It is run by the Barbosa family, who are known for their focus on quality, consistency and sustainable farming. The lot is Red Catuai.
Process
Natural. The cherries are dried with the fruit still on the bean, which adds sweetness, body and depth.
In the cup
Once roasted, expect milk chocolate, hazelnut and caramel, with a round body, a sweet aroma and a soft citric acidity.
In your range
The backbone of a house espresso. It gives the body, sweetness and low acidity that milk drinks need, and it is just as comfortable as an easy-drinking filter. It is also one of the more forgiving greens to roast, which makes it a sensible first coffee when you are setting up a new roaster or training someone on it.
Supplied unroasted. This is green coffee and must be roasted before it can be ground or brewed.
Roasting it yourself
From green to cup — the short version
Whether you run a shop roaster or a sample drum, the same three things decide the result.
Start small, then scale
Roast a test batch before you commit a full bag. Every coffee takes heat differently — density, moisture and process all play a part — so treat the roasting guide above as your first setting and adjust it to your own machine.
Allow for weight loss
Coffee loses roughly 12–20% of its weight in the roaster, and more the darker you go. As a working figure, 1kg of green coffee gives about 800–880g roasted, so buy with your finished weight in mind.
Rest it, then judge it
Freshly roasted coffee needs time to settle. Filter roasts usually open up a few days after roasting and espresso roasts a little later, so taste the same batch more than once before you change the profile.
Are these coffee beans roasted?
No. This is green, unroasted coffee, and it has to be roasted before it can be ground or brewed. It suits small roasteries, cafés with their own roaster and home roasters. If you need coffee that is ready to use, see our roasted wholesale coffee.
Is green coffee in stock, and how soon is it dispatched?
Yes. We hold green coffee in stock at our Guildford roastery, so it is ready to dispatch, Monday to Friday. See Delivery & Returns for delivery times.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum. You can order a single bag, and on coffees listed in several bag sizes the price per kilo comes down as the bag gets bigger.
How much roasted coffee will I get from 1kg of green?
Coffee loses roughly 12–20% of its weight during roasting, depending on how dark you take it. As a working figure, 1kg of green coffee gives about 800–880g of roasted coffee.
How long does green coffee keep?
Far longer than roasted coffee. Stored somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from strong smells, green coffee typically holds its quality for six to twelve months.
Is the roasting guide a fixed recipe?
No. It is a starting point. Roasters, batch sizes and airflow all differ, so run a small test batch first and adjust to taste.
