Drawn from the lot on offer
Samples come from the actual lot, drawn at origin, not from a display jar, and travel with the lot record and the score sheet.

How to buy: green coffee sourcing, or roasted at origin.
Buy the green and roast it yourself, or have it roasted at origin and packed under your label. Samples come with either. We are engaged by the buyer, and every lot is inspected before it ships and after it lands.
Green coffee sourcing.
You send the brief, for specialty or commercial grades. 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 at origin. 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.
Two from the same draw
One is dispatched to you to cup on your own bench. One is held against the shipment, so what arrives can be read against what you approved.
