The brief
Tell us the profile you are chasing and the format you roast for. One conversation is usually enough to pull the right candidates.
Profile · process · volume intent
Start where the risk is lowest.
Most buyers begin with a sample, move to green, and end with their own brand on the bag. Every route runs on the same discipline: real lots, vetted exporters, and a measurement behind every claim.
Green coffee sourcing.
You send the brief. We come back with real lots from exporters we have vetted, each carrying the documentation to check every claim, and we stay with the coffee through contracting, documents and shipment.
“No adjective travels without a score sheet.”
- The brief
- Cup profile, process, volume, price band and timing. The more specific the brief, the more specific the shortlist.
- The shortlist
- Lots that actually fit, from exporters we have vetted on the origin side. If nothing fits, we say so rather than stretch a lot to match.
- The dossier
- Every shortlisted lot arrives with its record: station name · delivery date · harvest window · process · moisture · water activity · screen distribution · Q score with the scoresheet attached.
- The shipment
- We stay with the lot through contracting, export documents and freight, and the paperwork travels with the coffee.
Origin samples.
Cup the lot on your own bench before you commit to anything. The sample arrives with its lot data and score sheet, so what you taste can be checked against what you were told.
Pulled at origin
Samples come from the actual lots on offer, drawn at origin, not from a display jar. Each is matched to its documentation before it ships.
Real lots · matched to the record
Dispatched with its data
The courier pack carries the green alongside the lot record and the Q score sheet. You know what you are cupping before the kettle is on.
Green sample · lot record · score sheet
Cupped on your bench
Your roaster, your water, your call. Money back in full if it is not right for you, credited to your first order if it is. The fee is quoted when you request the sample.
Your verdict · refunded or credited
Why samples carry a fee at all. It keeps requests serious, and it costs you nothing in practice: refunded in full if the coffee is not right, credited against your first order if it is.

Private label & white label
Sourced, graded, cupped, roasted, branded and packed. You end up with an Ethiopian coffee brand that is yours, wherever in the world you sell it.
