Fair trade?** A: Hello Ulysses,Great question! Our family has been producing coffee for four generations and we want to continue for many more. To do this, we are committed to sustainable practices including the highest social, economic and environmental standards for our fellow Nicaraguans and natural resources. Fair trade does include sustainability but it is focused on obtaining better trading conditions for small farmer co-operatives. Our coffee is not traded through a co-operative but rather directly - meaning you are purchasing directly from the farmer. Hope that answers your question!Primos Coffee Co. **Q: Is wet washing used for these beans?** A: Washing, where the beans are wet processed and flotation is used to remove bad cherries, is one of two possible preparation methods for coffee, the other being dry or 'natural' preparation. Washing is much more common globally and is a more reliable way of producing fine coffees. Almost all coffee originating in the Americas is washed. With natural or dry coffees, where the coffee cherry is sun dried and then hulled, much more hand labor is required to produce a good result, and these coffees are often, although not exclusively of African origin. There are also washed African coffees of course. Note that washing has nothing to do with a decaffeination process. **Q: Are these beans viable, so they may be germinated to grow coffee plants?** A: No, James B., these beans will not germinate to grow coffee plants. They have had their last layer of parchment removed and that must be intact for the beans to germinate. Sorry! **Q: Are these beans a Green color or a silver gray?** A: Silver gray color is the thin outer covering of the bean. It flakes off during roasting, leaving only the bean. It’s harmless, non-toxic stuff. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious! *by J***B on July 2, 2026* Had never ordered unroasted beans from Amazon before, nor this brand. Roasted up a batch and I'm quite pleased with the quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consistently Smooth, Chocolate-Forward Cup *by A***E on May 18, 2026* Primos Nicaraguan green beans roast beautifully and very evenly in my home roaster, producing an excellent cup with a smooth chocolate-forward profile and low acidity. I consistently get reliable results and would definitely recommend these beans, especially for home roasters who enjoy a sweet, chocolatey Nicaraguan coffee. Great value for the bag, as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I tried both the Parainema and Caturra Vareity *by E***N on November 18, 2023* They are both quality beans with very few bad or broken beans. But I preferred the Caturra more. The Parainema variety had too much of an acidic finish. I tried the Caturra first and at just about any roast it came out really nice. The Parainema was roasted to medium and a slightly darker roast and mixed the roasts at a 2:1 medium to dark ratio. I'm tempted to try a blonde roast and see if that makes it more tolerable on the finish. My Roasting Method: I used a 1475 Watt popcorn popper with about 2 ounces in each batch. It took about 5 minutes to reach first crack and about 1-3 minutes after it began the second crack and then I pulled it off the heat during second crack. Brewing Method: This is where I might have gone wrong and will update my review if the acidic finish is just from using water that was too hot. I measured out 15 grams of coffee for 8 ounces of water. put the grounds in the hot water and let it steep for 3 minutes. Agitated it a few times and it created a dark cup of coffee with a very nice thick foam on top. Taste(Parainema Variety): It has a very silky mouthfeel, extremely easy to drink, with a depth of flavor, very smooth and easy on the palette. Then a lingering acidic aftertaste that just doesn't go away. It's just interesting how the finish is in such contrast with the initial taste. In the end the over-acidic finish was just overwhelming and will have to experiment to see if I can get that down a bit. I understand that this is a characteristic of this bean and there are many brewing methods that can change that profile a bit, so will experiment with different roasts, temperatures and brewing methods to try and make a less acidic result. ## Frequently Bought Together - 3 Lb, Single Origin Unroasted Green Coffee Beans, Specialty Grade From Single Nicaraguan Estate, Direct Trade (Caturra Varietal) - Fresh Roasted Coffee, Unroasted Brazil, Kosher, 5 Pound - Unroasted Green Coffee Beans, Mega Beans Coffee, Specialty Grade Green Coffee Beans.
