Green Coffee Beans 200 g

Fair Trade green (unroasted) coffee beans. Not treated with pesticides, herbicides or anti-mould agents.

Naturally rich in chlorogenic acid

Unroasted green coffee beans contain more chlorogenic acid, a natural polyphenol, than roasted coffee, as well as naturally occurring caffeine. Caffeine has long been used as a pick-me-up for physical and mental alertness. Green coffee beans contain twice as many amino acids as roasted coffee.

How to make coffee from green coffee beans?

Coffee is made from green coffee beans just like from regular roasted beans. Grind the beans coarsely in a coffee grinder and then brew as filter coffee, pot coffee, French press coffee or Turkish coffee.

You can also make green coffee in an ordinary mug or coffee pot. Take 2-3 teaspoons of coarsely ground green coffee beans, pour over hot water at 92-96 °C and leave to steep for 5 minutes. Strain through a sieve if needed. Coffee made from green beans has a mild, pleasant taste.

Making green coffee extract:

1. Measure green coffee beans and water into a pot in a ratio of 1:6. Bring to the boil and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool with the beans for about 1 hour. Strain the liquid.
2. Drink about ½ glass 1-3 times a day before meals.
3. The extract keeps for several days in the fridge.

We recommend drinking it without sugar or milk, as part of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle.

Not recommended for: people with high blood pressure or heart conditions, individual intolerance, during pregnancy.

Homemade body scrubs with green coffee beans

Green coffee beans can be used to make simple cosmetic body scrubs at home. Caffeine tones the skin. For good results, use the scrub regularly, several times a week.

To make a body scrub, you need green coffee beans, a coffee grinder and a scrub base. To avoid scratching the skin, grind the beans finely. The base can be yoghurt, sour cream or olive oil. Always cleanse the skin before using the scrub, and massage the skin while applying it.

Coffee scrub with honey – mix a teaspoon of ground green coffee beans, a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of honey. Apply to the skin, massaging and patting actively.

Coffee scrub with yoghurt – for every tablespoon of ground green coffee beans, take three spoonfuls of yoghurt and apply to the skin with a light massage. The mixture polishes the skin beautifully.

Coffee scrub with sour cream – for every tablespoon of ground green coffee beans, take 1 spoonful of sour cream and add a few drops of grapefruit or orange oil. Massage the desired areas vigorously with the scrub for about 15 minutes.

Your skin will feel smooth and refreshed!

It is best to do this in the evening, 3-4 hours before bedtime, as the invigorating effect may otherwise keep you from falling asleep.
