Cup profile, process, volume and timing.
Buy Ethiopian green coffee.
How to buy specialty or commercial grade from an Ethiopia green coffee supplier you can check: samples, terms, documents, payment and lead times. We act for the buyer, and every figure on a lot is a reading, not a description.
Four steps.
Receive the shortlist
Lots that fit, from exporters we have vetted. If nothing fits, we say so.
Read the dossier
Station name, delivery date, harvest window, process, moisture, water activity, screen distribution and the Q score with its scoresheet.
Approve a sample, then ship
Samples come from the actual lot. The shipment travels with its documents and is read again on landing.
Samples.
Samples are drawn from the actual lot on offer, not from a display jar. Two come from the same draw: one is sent to you to cup on your own bench, and one is held against the shipment so what arrives can be read against what you approved. The sample weight and dispatch are confirmed when you request one.
