„This involves rubbing off the parchment layer and polishing the bean for an attractive appearance. At this point the coffee beans are a light green to bluish color. The coffee is then graded. This means the coffee is basically sorted by size, shape and imperfections.“

Supermarket Coffee vs. Specialty Store Coffee
„The other bean that makes up the small difference (about 8%) in this country's coffee consumption is called Coffea Arabica. It is the variety sold as whole beans in all specialty coffee stores and is the bean of choice for coffee connoisseurs as well as beginning coffee lovers.“

„It is a significantly larger arabica bean named for the region and its rainy season which contributes to the beans' higher moisture content. To create a "monsooned" crop, the green coffee is warehoused in an open structure protected from rain while moist tropical air blows through the storage area. In a 2 to 3 month period, the beans absorb moisture, losing a degree of natural acidity and at roast time, a richer yet mellower beverage results.“

„illy carefully roasts its coffee to the optimum level to bring out all the flavors inherent in the bean. illycaffè purchases only Arabica beans for its blend and sorts the beans using electronic instruments which evaluate the color and automatically reject beans that are either too green or overripe. About 50 coffee beans are needed to produce one cup of espresso, and only one bad bean can ruin its flavor. In order to better balance the aroma, illycaffè prepares the blend from nine different lots of Arabica before roasting and uses an air cooling system versus the more common water cooling system.“

View topic - Canadian shop called Second Cup coffee beans .... opinions? - Coffee Forum
„For all Canadian "coffee nuts", I would like to know if anyone is using coffee beans from SECOND CUP coffee store? I use an Arabica bean that they have called "PARADISO" (black & brown beans), and I find it quite good. It seems to be the right amount of caffeine for me.“
