I have purchased raw coffee beans from Taobao because I wanted some from different countries and the volume I wanted was not high at all.

Regarding the taste, the rule of thumb is the fresher the better. Once you roast the coffee you will want to let it rest maybe 24 hours, but you will notice that the crema of coffee is even more pronounced within days of roasting. It's a great excitement to taste the coffee every day after you roast and not the changes.

You can probably find some more info about home roasting by googling it. Have fun and happy roasting!!!!

I enjoy roasting at home. You can either use a small oven or can get cheap home toasters off of Taobao. It's quite a bit of fun to experiment!

Georgramatt, I would suggest trying Hani Coffee (hanicoffee.com). Our 100% Arabica beans, I believe, are the best in Yunnan (although I might be slightly biased!). You can buy whole bean or ground coffee at Paul's Shop and is now being served at Paul's Cafe both down on Wen Ling Jie. It is also sold at the three Wicker Basket locations. Enjoy!
