Herbal or green coffees feature aromas reminiscent of freshly cut grass, green tea, raw vegetables, or unroasted coffee beans. This flavour profile is most common in lightly roasted or minimally developed beans, where the natural characteristics of the coffee are preserved.
The herbal character is often fresh, lively, and slightly earthy. While it may not appeal to everyone, it attracts coffee lovers who enjoy complexity and natural flavours in their cup.
You’ll often find this profile in experimental coffees or beans from Central America and Africa. Perfect for those who like to explore beyond the usual coffee flavours.
