Coffee Beans, green, whole
Unroasted, green, whole bean coffee. A delicious single source coffee from the distant land of Brazil. Not roasted, not ground, not a blend; exactly as you would have purchased it from a sutlers wagon back in 1859.
In all seriousness, this is fantastic coffee and far exceeds the quality of anything you can get at a grocery store. When you buy prepackaged coffee at a modern grocery store you are letting them choose the variety, letting them choose the roast, letting them choose the grind as well as the freshness.
Coffee always tastes best when drank immediately after roasting and grinding. You don't need fancy gear to do this either; a small cast iron skillet or an old steel "Cool-Handle" skillet work just fine, a wooden spoon or stick to move the beans around and then some way to grind it up.
Back in the old days Kephart once mentioned smashing the roasted beans with the butt of a revolver, but you can use a classic hand cranked grinder like a Zassenhaus; a mortar and pestle works, or you can even use a fancy electric coffee grinder; the options abound!
These beans come packaged in brown kraft paper bags that are bundled up with twine so that you look the part when you pull this out at camp, but we package that all inside of a modern Trilaminate package with an oxygen absorber and heat sealed so as to maintain peak freshness until you are ready to use it.
