Raw Bean Coffee Bags & Beans

A Raw Bean coffee bag is a pyramid-shaped sachet filled with 100% ground Arabica coffee, vacuum-sealed for freshness. The pyramid shape allows the grounds to circulate and infuse properly, producing a well-balanced cup from nothing more than a bag and hot water.  

To use it, place the bag in a mug, pour over hot water, and leave it to brew for a few minutes before removing. No specialist equipment is needed. It is a practical alternative to instant coffee for anyone who wants flavour without the fuss.

Raw Bean works with farms and cooperatives that meet recognised sustainability and ethical standards. The single origin coffees are traceable to specific farms and regions (Finca Aurora in Oaxaca, El Eden in Colombia, the Cerrado region of Brazil ), meaning there is a clear, traceable route from farm to cup, rather than the anonymous commodity sourcing that makes up much of the mainstream coffee market.

While not all products in the range carry Fairtrade certification, the emphasis on traceable, single origin and speciality grade Arabica reflects a commitment to quality and transparency at the farm level.

A lot of decaf tastes flat because the decaffeination process strips out more than just caffeine. Raw Bean’s Definitely Decaffeinated range uses a chemical-free method that removes 99.9% of the caffeine while preserving the natural flavour compounds, oils, and the bean's body. The Colombian and Brazilian origins in the range each have distinct, recognisable characters, as you'd expect from speciality coffee.

Yes! The pyramid bag format is specifically designed to allow proper extraction, giving the ground Arabica room to infuse rather than just sitting in contact with water. The result has real flavour and body rather than the flat, stale taste associated with many instant options.

There is a short brew window to follow for best results, and both the single origin and blend options each have their own character worth noticing. People who are used to cafetière coffee generally find the switch straightforward.

Whole beans are suitable for bean-to-cup machines and for anyone who grinds their own coffee at home. The Colombian decaf beans are suited to espresso-based drinks. For espresso machines without a grinder, Raw Bean also offers a fine espresso grind version of the Definitely Decaffeinated Colombian. For filter and cafetière, the omni-grind ground coffee variety is the most practical. Each coffee comes with its own specific brewing guidance.

All 227g and 1kg coffee bags, the liners for boxes of coffee bags, and the individual coffee bag envelopes are recyclable at larger supermarkets. The pyramid coffee bags themselves are fully biodegradable and compostable, made from a PLA biopolymer derived from 100% renewable plant sources such as corn.

The range covers medium and dark roasts across caffeinated and decaf formats. Medium roast options, including the Colombian and Mexican single origins, are balanced and approachable, developed to highlight each bean's natural character. For a more intense cup, the dark roast Colombian decaf and the Dual Blend Deliciously Dark ground coffee, rated strength 5, both deliver depth without bitterness. Roast levels are chosen to suit the origin rather than applied as a ‘one style fits all’ approach.
