Coffee sourcing

We buy primarily at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange, where about 90% of Kenyan coffee is sold, and from selected farmers when a buyer requires it. That gives access to a broad range of grades, cup profiles and processing methods.

  • Registered at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange and licensed as a coffee buyer by the AFA Coffee Directorate.
  • Exchange lots are graded and catalogued, and traceable to the factory or estate that produced them.
  • We source to your specification: grade, screen size, cup profile, processing method, volume and price.

Quality assurance

Our quality assurance is led by a cupper holding Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) credentials, supported by locally licensed liquoring expertise. Every lot is judged against both the global specialty market and the Kenyan standard before it is approved for export.

Physical assessment

Bean size, appearance, moisture, defects and green condition.

Cupping

Aroma, acidity, body, flavour, sweetness, balance and aftertaste.

Grade verification

Conformance to Kenyan grades and your specification.

Pre-shipment check

Confirming the final coffee meets the contract before it ships.

Logistics and export

We coordinate milling, storage, containerisation and shipment through the Port of Mombasa, and hand over at the Incoterm agreed in your contract.

  • Milling, secure warehousing, weighing and re-bagging, with GrainPro liners where extra preservation is needed.
  • Coffee weighed, stuffed and sealed into food-grade export containers, then moved to Mombasa.
  • Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates and shipping documents prepared for each shipment.
  • FOB Mombasa, CFR or CIF, with payment by advance, documentary collection or letter of credit.
