You love coffee — but have you ever tried it before it’s roasted?
At La Montaña Coffee, we celebrate coffee in its most natural state: green and unroasted. This is the same bean that eventually becomes your daily cup of roasted coffee — but here, it’s packed with its original nutrients and a fresh, earthy flavor unlike anything else.
Why Green Coffee?
Green coffee beans are rich in chlorogenic acid (CGA) — a powerful antioxidant that helps support metabolism, balance blood sugar, and promote overall wellness. Roasting coffee reduces CGA by up to 80%, so drinking it green means enjoying coffee’s raw vitality straight from the mountain.
What You’ll Need
To prepare your green coffee at home, you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon of La Montaña Green Coffee Beans
- 1 cup (8 oz) of filtered water
- A grinder or mortar and pestle (optional)
- A pot or small saucepan
- A strainer or coffee filter
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Crush or Grind the Beans
Green coffee beans are harder than roasted ones, so they don’t grind as easily. You can lightly crush them using a mortar and pestle, or pulse them briefly in a grinder. The goal is to break them into smaller pieces — not to powder them.
2. Boil and Simmer
Add the crushed beans to a pot with one cup of water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes. This slow extraction helps release the chlorogenic acid and natural compounds.
3. Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture through a coffee filter or fine sieve into your cup.
You’ll notice a light green-golden color and a mild herbal aroma.
4. Customize the Taste
Green coffee has a gentle, earthy flavor — less bitter than roasted coffee.
You can enjoy it plain, or add a touch of honey, lemon, or cinnamon for a refreshing twist.
When to Drink It
Most people enjoy green coffee first thing in the morning or before meals.
It’s naturally low in caffeine, making it a great alternative for those seeking a smoother energy lift without the jitters.
A Ritual of Renewal
Every cup of La Montaña Green Coffee is a moment to reconnect with nature — and with yourself.
Whether you’re on a wellness journey or simply curious to experience coffee in its purest form, this ritual reminds us that great energy starts with simplicity and intention.
