An unroasted coffee bean by another name.....

What is an unroasted coffee bean by another name?  Why, they're called green beans. 

What are green beans?  They're coffee beans that have been hand picked, wet processed, dried fully and then crushed to make our favourite brew. The major difference between regular coffee and green coffee is that green coffee is not roasted whereas brown coffee that people usually consume is roasted. Green coffee beans stay much fresher in an unroasted state, therefore produce a fresher brew.  As of 2010, Brazil was the world leader in the production of these types of beans.  We love you Brazil!

So, what am I going on about all this stuff for?  Well, "Green Bean" Coffee Roasting Co. happens to be the name of a magnificent cafe in Oakville's downtown square.  It celebrates its 20th year of successful operations in Oakville next year. 

They usually offer two types of coffee daily by the cup; Costa Rica and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.  My favourite is the Costa Rica, but the latter is also very good.  I usually alternate them when I go there to do some writing.

As you would expect, you can also purchase their beans by the pound.  They also offer a full array of coffee drinks, teas, and an expansive food and desert menu.

For a fresh experience, as well as fresher beans, make your way to the Green Bean.... for coffee you won't be disappointed in:)
