Vietnam is the world's #2 coffee producer. There have to be a bunch of online sellers of unroasted beans out there. I just haven't looked.

Arrived today.

I've been digging these beans lately. A medium to dark roast, leaning more towards dark I suppose. Using a french press exclusively.

I got your (or at least a) hook-up right here:

Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasters - Len's Coffee

All of our unique, custom-blended or individually sourced coffees come to us as green beans. Now home roasters can buy some of the most popular to roast in their own kitchens.

Try the Dalat Bourbon Arabica and the Dalat Peaberry Robusta.

Thanks, Doug. I'll check them out.

I had the Dominican today and it was delicious. I'll try the Sumatran tomorrow.

Did a pound from Mexico this morning and doing another now from Guatemala. I like these 1 pound bags from CBC and they can be reused.

You're in a roasting groove, Dave. Dipping into the Classics Sampler, I see. I'll bet those taste great.

My Sumatran Peaberry tastes like unsweetened loose leaf tea. I thought the first pot's tea flavor was light on beans, so I used more for the second pot. It tastes like strong tea! Amazing light flavor. I may use it to mix in with stronger coffees, and I'll blend some with some Dominican Peaberry and see what that tastes like.

Sounds good Bruce. We prefer a darker robust coffee as I like the flavor that way and she needs it dark enough to add to her cream and sugar

 

[Graybeard57]

I can't help but wonder what the Sumatran would taste like in a darker roast.

 

[Cvargo]

@uacowboy using that adventure roast espresso blend. Roasted to a nice medium dark. So much flavor in this cup!

 

[Graybeard57]

Roasted another lb of Sumatran Peaberry today. The batch I did last weekend was a light roast, which I wanted, but the taste is too light for me. Today I roasted longer for a darker roast, but not quite as dark as I wanted. My goal was to have some beans glistening with oil, but stopped it too soon. I mixed 1/3 light roast with 2/3 of today's darker roast and brewed a pot. It tasted great, with the lighter tea flavor now a pleasant aftertaste.
Last week's roast.


Jar of last week's with today's.

Nice Bruce, getting closer to my color

Roasted up a pound of Guatemalan today.

Anyone else have issues with the Mexican beans from the Bean Corral sampler pack? They are taking forever to roast and still not looking all that hot.

I haven't gotten to those yet. I've accumulated a bit of a stockpile. How'd they turn out?

Never got a dark as I like and look very dry
