UNROASTED GREEN COFFEE BEANS — MUST BE ROASTED BEFORE GRINDING OR BREWING.
Kenya AA EP Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasting
AA describes the large screen size, while EP indicates additional defect sorting. In the cup, this offering is about tension between grapefruit-like brightness and a surprisingly full body. These Kenya AA EP green coffee beans arrive raw and unroasted, giving you direct control over color, development, resting time and final brew style. They are not ready-to-brew brown coffee beans.
In the cup, the supplier describes grapefruit and bright fruit. The overall impression is sparkling acidity with impressive body. Because roast equipment, batch size and technique all affect flavor, use these notes as targets for profile development rather than a guarantee of an identical result in every roaster.

What This Green Coffee Can Taste Like
AA describes the large screen size, while EP indicates additional defect sorting. In the cup, this offering is about tension between grapefruit-like brightness and a surprisingly full body. Roast degree will change the balance: lighter development generally keeps origin-led aromatics and acidity more visible, while longer development tends to build caramelized sweetness, body and roast character. Sparkling acidity with impressive body is the central goal for this coffee.
Suggested Home-Roast Approach
Begin light to light-medium. Control heat through first crack and use short-to-moderate development to retain grapefruit brightness without leaving the cup underdeveloped.
Build a repeatable profile
- Know the machine. Follow the roaster manufacturer’s capacity, ventilation and fire-safety instructions.
- Use a consistent batch. Changing batch weight can change heat transfer and timing, so hold it steady while testing.
- Watch and listen. Color, aroma, smoke, bean movement and first-crack behavior matter more than copying another machine’s temperature.
- Change one variable. Adjust heat, airflow or development time individually so the result teaches you something useful.
- Cool quickly. Prompt cooling limits carryover development and makes your chosen endpoint more repeatable.
Brewing After Roasting
Pour-over and drip emphasize the bright structure; a light espresso profile can produce an intense, fruit-led shot. Freshly roasted coffee releases carbon dioxide, so allow an appropriate rest before judging the result. A useful starting window is several days, but very light or espresso-focused roasts may benefit from longer. Taste on more than one day rather than deciding from the first brew.
Who Should Choose This Coffee?
Home roasters who value vibrant acidity, citrus clarity and the classic energy of Kenyan coffee. It can also be useful for a side-by-side roast experiment: divide the order into matched batches, choose two development endpoints and cup them together. That simple comparison often reveals more than changing several roast variables at once.
