Do I still need to roast these Nicaragua Arabica SHG coffee beans myself before use?

Do the unroasted Monsooned Malabar beans have a specific aroma before or after roasting?
These beans have a distinctive, slightly salty aroma both before and after roasting. After grinding, you may also notice fruity aromas. These are typical characteristics of the monsooning process.
What flavour can I expect after roasting these beans?
After roasting, these Yirgacheffe beans deliver a smooth, fruity coffee flavour with floral notes and hints of apple, rosemary and peach. Depending on the roast level, these fruity and spicy flavours may become more or less pronounced.
Can I use these beans as a 100% Arabica substitute for Robusta in blends?

How does this bean differ from other Ethiopian coffees you sell?
The Lekempti GR4 beans from the Wellega region have a unique character due to their sun-dried processing, which results in a rich, spicy and fruity flavour profile with citrus notes. Customers experience the taste as subtly complex, in contrast to, for example, Sidamo or Yirgacheffe beans, which are often more floral and lighter.
Are these decaf beans also suitable for drinking in the evening without sleep problems?
These beans are decaffeinated and therefore have a greatly reduced caffeine content. They are not entirely free of caffeine: a small residue remains. Many customers choose this blend when they still want an aromatic cup of coffee in the evening. How you respond to it is personal. For health questions, please consult your doctor.
What makes these Mandheling coffee beans special compared to other unroasted beans?
What makes these Mandheling beans special is their origin: they are grown on Sumatra and traditionally cultivated by the Mandailing people. The combination of altitude, volcanic soil and the specific climate gives these beans their characteristic mild yet full flavour and aroma.
Are these beans suitable for dark roasting?
Yes, these Guatemala Arabica SHB beans are suitable for both light and dark roasting. Several customers indicate that they roast them dark, which brings out the chocolate-like flavours even more.
Is this coffee bean blend suitable for various coffee preparations, such as cappuccino or lungo?

What are the typical flavour notes of these unroasted Guatemala SHB coffee beans?
These beans produce a smooth, balanced coffee with a medium body. You will taste notes of nuts, sweet honey and sugarcane. Many customers also experience a chocolate-like and mocha aftertaste.
Are these unroasted beans harder to grind than other beans?
Unroasted (green) coffee beans are indeed much harder than roasted beans and cannot be ground in a regular coffee grinder. They must first be roasted; after that, they become more brittle and suitable for grinding with a coffee grinder.
Why are these beans ‘Monsooned’ and what does that mean for the flavour?
These beans undergo the so-called 'monsooning' process, during which they are exposed to humid monsoon winds for months. As a result, their colour, size and structure change, and they develop their characteristic creamy, spicy-smooth flavour. This also makes the coffee less acidic and fuller-bodied.
Do I need to adjust my coffee grinder for these beans?
You may need to adjust the grind setting on your coffee grinder slightly when using Lucaffé Mister Exclusive beans for the first time. This is common when switching to beans different from what you are used to. Several customers have noted that a small adjustment gives the best flavour and crema.
Is this coffee suitable for milk-based preparations, such as cappuccino or latte?
This coffee is well suited to milk-based coffees. Thanks to its full and powerful flavour, the coffee taste remains prominent, even when you add milk to, for example, a cappuccino or latte.
