Buy Coffee Beans in Bulk

Although you can buy pre-ground coffee, the best (and freshest) way is to buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing. Because pre-ground coffee has a larger surface area, it loses flavor more quickly in the bag. Only the freshest coffee is available at Pearl Lemon Cafe and we believe that truly fresh coffee is something everyone should be able to enjoy. While whole bean coffee is ideal and buying coffee beans in bulk is the very best way to ensure coffee freshness, if you don’t have access to a grinder, don’t worry—we can grind it for you shortly before delivery, ensuring that it is still super fresh when you receive it. A coffee grinder is not a huge investment to make though, and it really will be worth it. For those seeking an extra kick, you can also buy Death Wish Coffee UK from us, adding an intensely strong option to your coffee selection.

Something else you'll find you need to consider when you buy coffee beans in bulk is just where those beans originated from. Coffee beans are the seeds of a cherry-like fruit produced by a flowering shrub known as a coffee tree. Arabica and Robusta are the two primary types of coffee trees that supply the world's demand for coffee beans. Arabica beans have a sweeter, gentler flavor than other beans, with notes of honey, fruit, and berries. Their acidity is stronger, giving them that winey flavor that coffee with high acidity is known for. The sharpness of a cup of coffee is known as acidity. Take a small sip of coffee the next time you have some and note how the flavor strikes the edges of your tongue. That's the acidity, and it's what gives your cup its brightness. Robusta, on the other hand, has a harsher, grainier flavor with a peanutty aftertaste. They have double the amount of caffeine over Arabica beans and are prized by coffee connoisseurs for their deep flavor and superb crema when making espresso. The Arabica family of trees produces the majority of speciality coffees offered today. Coffee plants flourish across the equatorial zone, with the best coffees coming from countries with rich volcanic soil and higher elevations.

Some people believe that as long as coffee remains in its whole bean roast form it will be first day fresh whenever you grind it. That, however, is not quite the case. Coffee does not have an infinite shelf life, and the flavor of the coffee diminishes with each passing day on the shelves. Because the coffee bean begins to oxidize as soon as it is finished roasting, you must use it as soon as possible to achieve the most flavourful cup. The coffee sold in supermarkets was often roasted weeks and weeks, if not months, earlier, so will never have as much fresh flavour as the freshly roasted coffee beans we sell!Interested in buying coffee beans in bulk?
