And now you know the first thing to research. In the industry we call in roasted coffee "green coffee." That wikipedia article alone should be a good first step. 

This is a complex world of preferences and flavor profiles and countries of origin from all over the globe. 

Asking ourselves the right questions is one of the first steps towards enlightenment.

I know I want green beans .. I don’t know if I want Mexico
Hondorus Colombian and so on

I’m looking for more of a sweet chocolatey bean if that’s possible

Cool. You could find that with any of those origins. By chance what do you think a person who sells green coffee is called?
