New Coffee Trend Called Green Coffee

Are you one of those people who start their day off with a nice steaming cup of coffee? If you are, you might be interested to know the latest coffee trend. And I guess you might not want to call it a trend, it is more like a new coffee invention.

Many people are excited about and talking about the latest breakthrough in coffee. It is known as green coffee. Did you know that every type of coffee starts as a green bean? It is sort of like how all tomatoes start green then turn red as they ripen. Coffee starts green as well in its early stages. The coffee world has decided to stretch its limbs, branch out and keep coffee in a different stage – the early stage. The coffee world has decided to keep the beans green, which in turn creates green coffee. It just sounds good for you does not it?

Normally, after coffee is harvested, green coffee beans are roasted to make the color shine and the flavors shout. But things are about to change. No longer is the baby green bean going to sit by the way side. The green bean is stepping into the spotlight. Coffee makers all over are catching the wave that is taking the raw, un-roasted green bean and turning it into green coffee. The final result is green coffee without the coffee taste.

No coffee taste you say? Nope! This is a new world for coffee lovers. It gives you a little time out from the traditional roasted coffee flavor. It allows your palette to explore something new and fresh. Some even claim green coffee can help you lose weight so where is the harm in that?

So with all this new hype about green coffee, many are starting to wonder how it is actually made. Can you make it in your own home? Well, let’s look at the process to decide that. First, the green beans are soaked in water and the caffeine as well as the other natural flavors are pulled out of the bean. It is then dried to create the flavor that green coffee carries. In the end, you have green coffee. There is no roasting involved. It does get rid of that roasted flavor so if you can’t live without the roasted flavor, then this type of coffee might not be for you. This process of extraction is a little difficult to perform on your own at home so for now, I would just stick with buying green coffee extract or a green coffee at the café.

Outside of simply drinking green coffee straight, some people are adding it to other drinks. Since you don’t have the outstanding roasted flavor from normal coffee, you can easily mix green coffee with you favorite drink. This way you get what you love to drink as well as the boost of energy you need from mixing in the green coffee. A lot of people and coffee companies are riding the new green coffee wave.
