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

  • November 13, 2014: Five new coffees this week from a vast group of origins. Kenya Nyeri Gatomboya AA is back on the list, a top coffee each year, this one no exception. Citric highs, ripe fruits, and developed sugar sweetness, this is a stellar AA outturn, well worth the premium we paid. Costa Rica San Martin de Leon Cortes is our last Costa Rica of the season, a classically "clean" coffee, a sweetness like honey and top notes of tea and apple permeate from the cup. We've been trickling our final Brazils on the site too, so Brazil Fazenda Junqueira Reis is a welcome addition. The profile is centered around a culmination of dried fruits, roasted nut, and bittersweet cocoa. A nice, rounded Brazil. And finally, we see two new Guatemalas on the list - Guatemala Patzun - Finca Santa Anita is a balanced cup, with stone fruit notes, and a thick, viscous body. And Guatemala Huehuetenagno Michicoy focuses on developed flavors of caramel and cocoa powder. Both handle the heat, and work extremely well as both brewed coffee and single origin espresso.
  • November 7, 2014: Here are two new Guatemalan coffees to add to your roasting schedule next week! Guatemala Xinabajul Tres Fincas is loaded with heavy sugar sweetness, cocoa, and has an easy going malic acidity in the finish. Guatemala Proyecto Xinabajul - Marlon Palacios has sweet and rich cocoa, dark berry, peach, clean acidity and juicy fruits throughout with lots of body. Both of these Guatemalan coffees make a delicious espresso.
  • November 5, 2014: Our latest addition from Colombia, Colombia El Nacedero - "El Loco" Camacho, is a brilliant cup, and more balanced than the name would suggest. "El Loco" is Miguel's nickname, partly because of his unique character, and also because of his crazy jeep which he named "El Loco". His coffee shows elegance, with blackberry and honey, brisk tea, and a note of fresh basil. Great as espresso too! We also just landed a couple new decafs from Swiss Water, including our first ever Kenya. Kenya Nyeri Kigwandi SWP Decaf is a nice blend of AA and AB outturns, with all the citrus characteristics and acidity you'd expect from a Kenya - definitely the most pronounced we've ever tasted in decaf coffee! Guatemala Huehuetenango Small Producers SWP Decaf is a densely sweet cup, with lots of raw sugar and cane juice sweetness, and subtle fruited top notes. Both really great brewed decaf coffees. A new Guatemala also hits the list,
