Nicaragua Arabica SHG is a green Arabica coffee from Café du Jour, grown by small farmers in Nicaragua. These unroasted coffee beans are for home roasters: you roast them yourself before grinding and brewing.

What SHG means

SHG is short for Strictly High Grown, a grade for coffee grown at 1,200 metres above sea level or higher. At that altitude the coffee ripens more slowly, which helps produce a denser bean. This coffee is also fully washed.

Flavour after roasting

Roasted, these beans give a sweet, nutty cup with notes of chocolate and citrus. Because they arrive green, the roast is up to you, from light through to darker profiles.

Customer Questions

What are the characteristic flavour notes of these Nicaragua Arabica SHG unroasted beans after roasting?

When these beans are roasted correctly, you can expect a Central American flavour profile that is sweet and nutty, with distinct notes of chocolate and citrus.

Can I use these unroasted coffee beans directly in my coffee grinder or espresso machine?

No, before you use these beans in a coffee grinder or espresso machine, they must first be roasted. Unroasted (green) coffee beans are much too hard to grind and are not suitable for consumption without roasting. After roasting, you can grind and use them as usual.

For which type of coffee drinker and roast are these beans most suitable?

These beans are ideal for coffee enthusiasts who want to experiment with the roasting process themselves. Thanks to the SHG (Strictly High Grown) character and the sweet, nutty flavour profile with chocolate and citrus notes, this bean is well suited to both light and dark roasts. You can discover for yourself which roast best suits your taste.

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

Yes, these coffee beans are completely unroasted (green). This means that you still need to roast the beans yourself before you can brew coffee with them. This is ideal for home roasters who want to experiment with the roasting process themselves.
