Sweet Maria's would like to be your information source and green coffee supplier for your home coffee roasting adventures. Home roasting is easy! It only takes 5 to 15 minutes and your reward is the freshest coffee around. It requires no fancy equipment and green coffee from Sweet Maria's is half the price of good roasted coffee from a retailer. We have a huge selection of green coffees, each carefully cupped and rated for quality.
We are more than just another online store, we are a virtual coffee university. Simply put, we really like what we do...
Green Coffee Beans
We are very proud of our unroasted green coffee selection of 50+ types. Each is meticulously cup-rated, and selected from particular current crop lots, representing the "best of the best!"
New Arrivals
- April 6, 2015: Last week was a little crazy, and posting about new coffees got away from me. Here's a quick rundown on what we added: Colombia Aguas Claras, honeyed sweetness, citrus zest, and malic acidity. Colombia Finca Monte Verde Gesha is a first for us from Herrera, Tolima. Bergamot and floral jasmine, green grape, citrus and apple, an amazing example of this rather exotic varietal! Mexico Organic Chiapas Jaltenango, a mild Organic Central American cup, notes of dark sugar and roasted nut, and hints of tea. Brazil Pulp Natural Irmao Pereira has caramel apple sweetness, and a rich, dark-chocolate finish. Ethiopia Aricha-Kocha SWP Decaf, Yirga Cheffe complexity in decaf form!
- March 27, 2015: Happy weekend! We're excited about a few new arrivals that made it on our list today. Check out the links to reviews and ordering pages: Colombia Inza - Finca Villa Rica - densely sweet, apple, pineapple, a complete coffee Hawaii Kona Kowali Farm Typica - white grape, cane sugar, a clean cup Sulawesi Dante Borong - earthy sweetness, plum, and papaya Brazil Carmo de Minas SWP Decaf - developed sweetness, roasted nut, mild fruits Rwanda Karenge-Rulindo SWP Decaf - bourbon sweetness, baking spices, weighty profile
- March 21, 2015: What's new? Well, Colombian coffee, that's what's new! Our first Colombia container of 2015 was just delivered to our Oakland warehouse - filled with a dozen microlots, a few custom blends, as well as a couple bags of Gesha! We listed these first two coffees in a flash for the weekend, and promise at least 2 more (including Gesha) next week. Colombia Finca La Mesita - Brayan Joven - you may remember his coffee from last year, a real standout on our cupping table. Sweetness, top notes, acidity, and cleanliness, a beautiful Colombia we feel lucky to have. Colombia Timana de Huila is a blend we constructed from a few of the better small producer lots we tasted. At City+, this coffee is all about balance. A mild cup that can handle roast, it's what we think daily drinking coffee should taste like! We also added a new dry process coffee, Brazil Dry Process Santa Ines. Not as fruit-forward as others (they're there, just subtle), this one's heavy in the developed sugar matrix, and with a nice kola nuttiness. Perfect for dual use brewed coffee/espresso. Ethiopia Grade 1 Yirga Cheffe Dumerso is our last Ethiopia of the season, and cupping better than some of the fresh offer samples we've been tasting! Stone fruit-forward, with heavy sugar-browning sweetness and citrus top note complexity. Papua New Guinea Bauka Bena is our final PNG from the Bauka Plantation coffees we purchased. Only 3 bags, it shares much in common with the others from Bauka - earth toned, sweet grain, and fruited. And we also added a Fair Trade Organic coffee, Sumatra FTO Gayo - Bies Village. This is from the KSU Burni cooperative in Aceh, showing rustic fruits, heavy body, and surprsingly 'present' acidity.
