UNROASTED GREEN COFFEE BEANS — MUST BE ROASTED BEFORE GRINDING OR BREWING.
Lychee Jairo Arcila Castillo Green Coffee for Home Roasting
Producer Jairo Arcila’s processing gives this Castillo lot an expressive lychee signature. The cup starts crisp and electric, then becomes rounder and juicier as it cools. These Lychee Jairo Arcila Castillo green coffee 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 lychee, lime, green apple, rose, red raspberry and exotic fruit. The overall impression is bright, perfumed and fruit-candy sweet with a long coating finish. 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
Producer Jairo Arcila’s processing gives this Castillo lot an expressive lychee signature. The cup starts crisp and electric, then becomes rounder and juicier as it cools. 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. Bright, perfumed and fruit-candy sweet with a long coating finish is the central goal for this coffee.
Suggested Home-Roast Approach
Use a light profile to prioritize lychee and floral perfume. Apply energy smoothly, avoid baking between yellowing and first crack, and keep development measured so the delicate aromatics remain visible.
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 will separate lychee, citrus and florals; espresso can deliver a vivid fruit-candy shot after sufficient rest. 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.
