Sample request

Ask for samples.

Pick the lots you want to cup. Each sample is 250 grams of whole bean from the graded lot, and it leaves Addis Ababa with the same papers the offer would carry: the score sheet and the physicals.

What travels with the sample

No sample without its sheet.

01
The cupping score sheetThe six-station table average, attribute by attribute, signed by the head cupper.
02
The physicalsMoisture against the contract maximum, screen size, grade and density.
03
The station recordWhich station, which altitude, which harvest window — the traceability in one line.
04
250 g, whole beanDrawn from the graded lot at the mill, packed for the courier, not for the shelf.

In writing. On public pages, buyer names, contract references and prices never appear. Availability and scores do. Buyer, price and reference are on that buyer's account.

Your sample request is noted.

In this demonstration nothing was sent. On the live site, the trade desk confirms availability for the chosen lots and replies with courier details. Each sample leaves Addis Ababa with its score sheet and physicals — if the cup disagrees with the sheet, we want to hear it.

Not coffee?

Coffee is the one thing we hold ourselves. Everything else — sesame, niger seed, pulses, hides, stone, timber, packaged goods — we source to your specification. Tell us the grade, the quantity and the destination, and we confirm in writing what we can get and when.

Or describe the cup

Buying for a profile?
Name it.

If none of the lots is quite right, describe the profile and we will point at the station that grows it.
