Given that most of the coffee is shade grown, the Panama coffees tend to be more complex and distinctive than those from Costa Rica. - [Nicaragua] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/Nicaragua.html): Nicaragua borders Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south so it is therefore unsurprising that coffee is Nicaragua’s principal export to the world. - [Peru] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/Peru.html): Peru is surprisingly the 8th largest coffee producer in the world and the largest exporter of organic certified coffee. - [Coffee Sacks] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/CoffeeSacks.html): Used / empty sacks that have been used to store coffee - [Burundi] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/category/124831): Burundi is one of the smallest coffee-producing countries in East Africa - yet they believe it is the best.

The coffees are marketed by both an auction system and direct sale. Tanzania’s economy is heavily reliant on agriculture and this provides employment for around 90% of the workforce and accounts for some 85% of exports. The main cash crops include coffee (of which over 90% is grown by smallholders), cotton, tobacco, cashew nuts, tea and sisal. - [Africa-Arabia] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/Africa-Arabia.html): As the birth place of coffee, Africa produces some of the world's finest coffees. - [El Salvador] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/ElSalvador.html): While one of the smallest Central American nations, El Salvador produces exceptional coffees to a consistently high standard. - [Rwanda] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/Rwanda.html): Rwanda is known as the "land of a thousand hills", almost the centre of Africa. Unfortunately coffee production was forced on Rwandan farmers in the 1930s. Without training or infrastructure the quality of coffee was very poor until the 21st century - after the horrific genocide. With a focus on reconciliation and strategy, coffee has helped to rebuild Rwanda and turn the qualify of production around.All of Rwanda's coffee is Arabica, with 95% being one of several long established Bourbon varieties. - [Yemen] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/Yemen.html): NO YEMEN GREEN BEANS IN STOCK SORRY.

Despite its flavour being considered less refined, robusta is widely used in espresso blends because it is known to produce a better crema (the creamy layer found on top of an espresso shot) than arabica. All of our robusta coffees are noted as such in the description and shown here. You can assume that if the description does not contain the word "robusta" then it is arabica. - [Decaffeinated] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/Decaffeinated.html): Sugar Cane (natural) and Mountain Water. - [Asia-South Pacific] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/Asia-SouthPacific.html): This area contains some of the most enterprising coffee producing countries. - [Behmor Spare Parts] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/category/BehmorSpareParts): Spare parts for Behmor benchtop roasters. - [Central America - Caribbean] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/CentralAmerica.html): The coffees from Central America are well known for their completeness in terms of body, flavour and aroma. - [1600 Plus Spare Parts] (https://www.greenbeanhouse.co.nz/category/Behmor1600PlusSpareParts): Spare parts for the Behmor 1600 Plus.
