Hi, hmm ... I don't know where to buy the best coffee beans in your
place/country, but I can give some suggestion regarding coffee beans
for you.

If you have stomach problem but still want to enjoy coffee, you can
search for coffee beans which already stored for long time in coffee
factories. In my place, coffee beans are stored for 5-8 years long.
The purpose of this process is to decrease water, acidity, and
caffeine amount in coffee beans, so it will not make stomach problem
or heart beating that normal coffees usually produce.

For your second question, I think we don’t need to worry about that,
because generally we buy roasted coffee beans which means it already
sterilized by roasting process. Usually roasting process takes about 2
hours with high temperature. You may find more info and photos of
coffee process in http://www.one-cup-coffee-makers.us/coffee-factory
Hope this can help you.

Best Regards,
