Green coffee beans are raw, unroasted coffee seeds, ready for you to roast to your own profile. Ours are grown in Cameroon: washed Arabica from the Oku highlands in the Northwest and Robusta from the Western Region, sourced from smallholder farming communities.

Yes. We encourage roasters to sample the coffee first. You can request a sample, roast it to suit your normal evaluation process, cup it and decide whether it fits your programme before discussing an order. The sample is accompanied by the coffee profile (all basic information).

We aim to provide the information a roaster needs to properly evaluate a lot, including origin, variety, altitude, processing, harvest information and available physical or quality specifications.

Our minimum order depends on the requirements of the roaster. We are happy to discuss smaller trial quantities before moving towards larger or ongoing orders.

Yes. We understand that not every roaster is looking for a large volume straight away.

A sample or smaller trial order can be a good starting point, with quantities increasing as the coffee becomes part of your programme.

We prioritise recent harvests and plan procurement around expected requirements where possible.

Our aim is to avoid unnecessary storage time and move coffee through the supply chain in a way that protects its condition.

We work with producer communities and cooperatives around harvesting, processing, drying and handling practices, followed by appropriate sorting and preparation of the coffee.

We don't promise that every bean will be completely defect-free. Instead, we focus on careful handling and low-defect lots that can be properly evaluated before purchase.

Our main focus is currently the UK market, but we can discuss requirements from buyers in other markets depending on the order and logistics.

Yes. We support both smaller trial orders and larger programmes.

For larger requirements, we prefer to discuss the expected volume, specifications and delivery schedule in advance so procurement can be planned properly.

Of course.

If you have a specific requirement or simply want to understand what we currently have available, get in touch. We'd rather have a conversation about what you actually need than send you a generic catalogue.
