Blazing Bean Roasters offers all of its origins as green coffee. Also, if one is in the Tampa bay area, you can come by our shop, avoid shipping charges, see the roastery and trade home roasting tips. We've roasted on a hottop (still have it) and a popcorn popper (not in years).

Been awhile but I've picked up some good beans from The Captain's Coffee in the past (Boone NC) - http://www.thecaptainscoffee.com/

Whoa whoa whoa this is blowing my mind right now. I just looked up what Daterra is.

Many years ago I was doing some work in automotive tires in Brazil. We had several meetings with one of the largest distributors in the country, who also apparently owned a coffee farm. This is before I was into coffee.

Now, most coffee they serve in Brazil at business meetings is garbage. It's robusta that's been boiled and usually heavily pre-sweetened. I actually had a panicked moment once after sipping a coffee during a business meeting because I didn't think I'd be able to swallow if without gagging.

At the meeting with these coffee/tire guys, they made me an espresso. I don't like espresso. But I liked that one and I told him so. Sweet, smooth, delicious. He said 'yeah it's probably the best in the country.' I thought to myself what an arrogant guy.

That guy it turns out was Luis Norberto Paschoal, owner of Daterra (and of D'Paschoal tire distributors). He is definitely a bit crazy, but he makes some great greens apparently!

I was living in Birmingham Alabama last year for a spell. I was lurking around HB and noted one of the sponsors named Bodka Coffee. I was a bit surprised to find greens available in the deep south. Back in my home town in Oregon now, but I was satisfied with the product and the flat rate shipping offered by Bodka Coffee.

I've only tried sweet Maria's and have gone through probably 20lbs so far. What are some other sources you guys enjoy?

I posted this in the Coffee forum, but maybe it should have gone here because it's about one of my favorite sources for green coffee. Other than the following unusual source, I've had excellent results and good prices from bodhileafcoffee.com, especially their specials, averaging around $3.50 per pound, plus around $6 shipping when you take 5 lbs. The other source is described as follows:

I roast my own and one of my favorites is Vispak Sul de Minas, which has a flavor all its own, different from other Sul de Minas I've tried. It's imported by a Bosnian company, so it's sold in Bosnian or ex-Yugoslav food stores. I used to live near one and often bought these green beans, but I've moved and could only find Vispak roasted coffee locally (near DC). But, I recently discovered a Vispak mail order place near Chicago, which gave me a $5 discount, reducing the shipping to $10, for just about any amount I'd order. I ordered 5 kg (11 lbs.), which came to $6.22 per lb., including shipping. Not too bad, when I thought I'd never get that coffee again.

I don't know how to describe the taste in writing. Maybe it's due to the terroir of the the particular plantation or fazenda, I just don't know. It's never mentioned on coffee sites and they must only sell to Bosnian home roasters. And how many of them can there be??? So, if you want to give it a try, look at https://www.eurofooddeals.com/product/v ... beans-1kg/

I used to buy it at the Saraga store in Indianapolis, and that's the only brick and mortar store I ever found it at. If someone is in the DC area and wants to try some of mine, I'd trade a pound of my new 11 pound stash for another coffee.
