Starlon Naturals is a B2B green coffee beans supplier and exporter based in Begusarai, India. We supply Arabica and Robusta green coffee beans in washed, natural, and custom-processed variants sourced from certified estates in Karnataka, Kerala, and Africa. Our green coffee beans are graded to SCA and ICO standards, with moisture content maintained at maximum 12.5% per ICO export requirements. All supplies are certified under ISO 22000:2018, HACCP, GMP, Halal, and Kosher.
Green coffee beans are raw, unroasted coffee seeds extracted from the coffee cherry (Coffea arabica or Coffea canephora/Robusta). They retain the full complement of naturally occurring compounds present before roasting, including chlorogenic acids (the primary phenolic antioxidant in coffee, typically 6-12% of dry weight in unroasted beans), caffeine, trigonelline, and other volatile precursors that develop characteristic coffee aroma during roasting.
Green coffee beans are the traded commodity form of coffee at the B2B level. Commercial roasters, instant coffee manufacturers, coffee extract producers, and nutraceutical ingredient buyers all source green beans for further processing. The quality of the finished roasted or processed product is directly determined by the quality of the green bean - origin, variety, processing method, grade, moisture content, and defect count.
Indian Arabica is grown predominantly in the Western Ghats, across the Chikkamagalur and Coorg (Kodagu) districts of Karnataka and the Wayanad and Nelliampathy districts of Kerala. Typical altitude: 900 to 1500 metres. Indian Arabica is characterised by a medium to full body, low to moderate acidity, and a complex flavour profile with notes of spice, chocolate, and citrus depending on the growing region and processing method. Available in both washed and natural processes.
Indian Robusta is grown in the lower elevations of Karnataka and Kerala. It is known for its high caffeine content, full body, and strong earthy-woody flavour profile. It is commonly used in espresso blends, instant coffee production, and commercial roasting applications for its strength and cost efficiency.
Common African coffee origins include Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya, each known for distinct processing methods and cup profiles. Specific sourcing origins, processing details, and cup characteristics depend on supplier availability and procurement specifications and should be confirmed through approved sourcing documentation.
Origin sourcing details, including country-specific availability and processing methods, are subject to verification through approved supplier and procurement documentation. Please refer to the latest validated sourcing records to ensure consistency across all published origin information.
| Method | Process Description | Cup Profile and B2B Application |
|---|---|---|
| Washed (Wet Process) | The coffee cherry skin and pulp are mechanically removed before fermentation and washing. The bean is then dried with the parchment intact. Produces a clean, bright cup with clearly defined origin characteristics. | High acidity, clean flavour, clear terroir expression. Preferred by specialty roasters and third-wave coffee buyers. Better moisture consistency than natural process. |
| Natural (Dry Process) | The whole coffee cherry is dried intact with the fruit pulp surrounding the bean. The bean absorbs fruit sugars and flavours during the extended drying period. | Full body, lower acidity, complex fruit-forward notes (berries, stone fruit). Suited to espresso blending, premium retail, and markets preferring heavier body. |
| Monsooned Malabar (India-specific) | High-quality natural process Indian Arabica is exposed to the southwest monsoon winds on the Malabar coast for 12-16 weeks. The beans swell in size, turn golden-yellow, and develop distinctive characteristics. | Low acidity, heavy body, unique chocolate-malt-straw flavour profile. Premium and unusual; valued by European specialty roasters. |
| Grade Category | Specification Standard | Key Parameters | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial Grade (Plantation A) | Indian Coffee Board standard | Specific screen size and defect count per Indian export standards | Commercial roasting, instant coffee production, private label |
| Commercial Grade (Plantation B) | Indian Coffee Board standard | Slightly lower screen size than Plantation A; specified defect count | Commercial roasting, high-volume institutional supply |
| Custom Grade | Per buyer specification | Grade, screen size, defect count, moisture, and cup score specified by buyer for contract supply | OEM, private label, large-volume roasters with proprietary blend specs |
Commercial and Speciality Roasters: green coffee beans are the primary input for all roasted coffee production. Starlon Naturals supplies Arabica and Robusta beans graded to SCA standards for commercial, specialty, and private-label roasting applications. Bulk 60 kg bag format standard; cupping samples available on request.
Instant Coffee Manufacturing: green beans are the raw material for all three instant coffee formats (spray dried, agglomerated, freeze dried). Robusta grades with high caffeine and extraction yield are the preferred input for commercial instant coffee production.
Green Coffee Extract Production: unroasted green beans are the source material for standardised green coffee extract, which is processed to specified chlorogenic acid content.
Nutraceutical and Functional Ingredient Supply: standardised green coffee extract is used in dietary supplement formulations for the health and wellness segment. Buyers should verify applicable health claim authorisations for their target market (EU, UK, USA) before including any compound-related claims on finished product labelling.
Cold Brew and RTD Coffee Production: washed Arabica grades with clean cup profile and good cold-brew extraction are suited to RTD and cold brew coffee manufacturing.
Private Label Green Coffee Brands: Starlon Naturals supports private label packaging of green coffee beans for retail and health food brands. Custom pack sizes and labelling available. Refer to our Tea Packing and Blending page for contract packing details.
