Coffee Trading
Sourcing direct from origin, curated for hospitality.
Direct trade with producers, where both ends win
We approach coffee trading as a direct relationship with the people who grow it. If you buy coffee, we help you find the ideal profile and the right volume for your business, from microlots to full containers. If you produce coffee, we help you upgrade your farm with technology through our Harvest programme. A shorter, more transparent chain, with better coffee at both ends.
For coffee buyers
Lot curation built around your menu, your brand and your budget: together we define the sensory profile and the volume you need, and keep it stable harvest after harvest. We work across 12+ specialty origins in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
For coffee producers
We support producers who need it in upgrading their infrastructure: technology systems that increase farm output and bring washing, fermentation and drying under precise control, with the best technology available. That is our Harvest programme.

Harvest Programme
Technology at the farm, quality in the cup
We do not just buy coffee: we invest in the farms that produce it. Through Harvest we help producers who need it upgrade their infrastructure with the best and latest technology available, to produce more and better, and to control the processes that define quality in the cup. The result benefits both ends of the chain: more profitable, more sustainable farms, and a more stable, more consistent supply for the buyer.
Agricultural drones
Farm mapping, crop monitoring and precision application from the air.
Precision irrigation
Efficient irrigation systems that stabilise farm output against the climate.
Controlled washing
Technical control of washing systems at the mill, with measured, repeatable processes.
Controlled fermentation
Precise, repeatable fermentations that lift and differentiate the cup profile.
Drying and humidity control
Drying machinery and humidity control that protect the profile all the way to shipment.
Experimentation
Trials alongside producers with the latest technology available, developing new and distinctive profiles.
One chain, one partner
The coffee we buy at origin, we can roast for you, install and maintain the machine you serve it on, and train the team that prepares it. Explore the other disciplines: Coffee Roasting, Coffee Services and Coffee Academy.
