About this item

  • Arabica (bourbon) coffee beans: renown for rich flavor and aroma, are grown in the small country of El Salvador located in the tropical longitudinal belt, unique for an optimal climate to grow premium coffee.
  • Natural Process: Our coffee is grown under a naturally shaded environment in the heights of the scenic mountains of El Salvador, harvested by hand, fully washed with an eco-friendly process, naturally dried in the fresh air and bright sun, hand-sorted for imperfections, and stored in a controlled environment to preserve freshness.
  • Zero Waste: Our coffee is processed with the ecofriendly “zero waste” system which reuses every single byproduct of the process. The water used in our coffee processing is treated in a bioreactor to be reused for irrigation, avoiding local river contamination. The coffee pulp is used for quality compost that is applied in our local farm.
  • Home roasting / small batch roasting: Ideal quantity for home roasters or small business that require small batch roasting. We recommend roasting it to a medium profile (also known as regular roast or city roast) to obtain the maximum expression of the properties of our coffee. The taste notes include low acidity, smooth sweet fruity body, and dark chocolate to mention a few. Other roast profiles will also provide excellent results, including light roasts and dark roasts.
  • Optimal Packaging: Our unique approach to packaging with a resealable bag in box system provides our product with maximum freshness while maintaining easy access and storage.

Good amount for the price, quality unroasted beans, packaged appropriately
This "Strong Tower Coffee - Unroasted - Green Beans - 100% Arabica" (25lbs) is quite a deal, it is bulk, and it cost less than $6 a lb. If you want to get into trying out coffee roasting yourself or if you want to do some small batch craft coffee roasts and try to sell them at local farmer's market etc. This 25lb bulk will be great start. These beans seem to be of good quality, and they came nicely packed in GrainPro Premium Hermetic Supergrainbag; these GrainPro SGB are gas tight storage bag for designed to protect agricultural commodities (like grains and coffee). It is very respectable of Strong Tower Coffee to ship their product in these premium bags.You would definitely have to look more into "coffee roasting" in a commercial scale or in a home amateur scale before you can really enjoy these beans. There are some simple ways if you just want to get your feet wet. It is quite a bit of work, but also, it is quite a lot of fun.Once you get a hang of coffee roasting, these beans will yield quite good results. Try a medium roast first, that seems to shine with these beans. But I had great results too with darker roasts (that tends to mask the quality of the beans tho). I also tried to add some wood/smoke to my roast when I use my BBQ to roast my beans.Anyways, the bottomline is that these beans is a good starting point.Thank you for reading this review, I hoped that this review & the pictures are helpful to you in support of your purchase decision.
Thank you for your feedback

    I love this coffee. I like a light roasted coffee which is how I roast this coffee. It has a nice fruit flavor to it when roasted light. Had a wonderful smell after roasting too. My girlfriend loves it! Over all the other coffee I roast. They are out now and I'm hoping I can get more.

    It was a delicious product . My first foray into the world of roasting your own coffee And I must say it did not disappoint the roasting itself was a process that took me some time to get used to but the beans are good quality and once for us to properly make an exquisite flavor . On a sidenote people if you like dark roast coffee normally when buying the cheap stuff I might recommend going for a lighter roast Because with it being fresh you will get way more flavor at a light roast then you would’ve dark the reason that you probably like a dark roast is because so much of the flavor is gone after it’s been sitting on the shelf for a while after roasting

    Fast delivery, overall tasty beans when I roasted to full city roast, as well as French roast. My only complaint is the size variations of the beans makes it a little difficult to get a medium or light roast right.

    I bought 3 different unroasted coffee beans at the same time Peru, Brazilian, and El Salvador. They all have unique flavors but the Peru and Brazilian are a single bean type, Where as the El Salvador was a mixed bean type, (it has peas, and at least 2 different coffee split beans in it) The flavor of the El Salvador really stood out in a positive way, The box was nice but the Zip lock bag was a big disappointment. They are very fresh beans and I brew a lot of coffee. That said if they are going to save money buy using cheap ass Zip Lock bags they really need to reduce the cost of the beans to compensate.

    first thing that was not good was I opened the box and the beans were in a 1 gallon zip lock bag. The exact same type of storage back I have in my pantry that I buy at my local store. Second thing, I thought I might go ahead and do a roast anyway. there were way too many bad beans to make a good roast. Many, many discolored and/or broken beans. I sent back and will be sure to purchase only from reputable companies.

    Basically, if you roast your own beans, you can have higher quality coffee for about $7-8 a lb. depending on how dark you roast it. As I roast my beans until they are very dark, I an losing maybe 10% of their original weight but gaining a dark roast flavor. Obviously one can roast them less, and lose less weight.

    This is a winner if you like freshly-roasted bean.
