EXPLORE OUR OFFERINGS<\/h1>\n

Buying “SPOT” coffee<\/strong> means taking coffee that we currently have in our warehouse. For a list of current availability, please check the\u00a0coffee offerings section<\/a>\u00a0of our website. (You can also see future offerings by clicking on\u00a0AFLOAT to see all coffees on the water en route to us, or\u00a0OPEN\u00a0to see all coffees that have been contracted but not yet shipped from their country of origin.)<\/p>\n

Sort by country, certification, processing type, or even flavour profile. We have worked hard to make an offerings page that fits the way our customers buy coffee.\u00a0If you have feedback, please let us know how we can make it better.<\/p>\n

Purchasing coffees in full-pallet (10-bag) increments ensures the best value in shipping. See our\u00a0shipping page<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n

CONTRACTING<\/h1>\n

Contracting<\/strong> coffee with us is easy, and can serve several purposes.<\/p>\n

Customers may build contracts to secure a supply of coffees that are already available in our warehouse. This allows a roaster to guarantee that a certain amount of coffee is available in their position to be released as needed, and also saves space in their roastery by utilizing our warehousing instead of finding space in your facility.<\/p>\n

Customers may also purchase forward contracts, which allows a roaster to secure a supply of coffee that has not yet shipped from the growing country, or even before the harvest has begun. Forward contracts can be written basis of pre-ship or arrival samples, or they can be price-fixed to secure an advantageous market rate. We have a variety of contracting and hedging tools for your use and benefit, and we are happy to help you find the purchasing strategy that makes the most sense for you and your business.<\/p>\n

Feel free to contact us via e-mail<\/a> with any questions about the various contract options that exist.<\/p>\n

SAMPLING<\/h1>\n

Sampling<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is free and we encourage you to take advantage of the option in order to calibrate with your sales representative, so we can better understand the types of coffees you are searching for. We provide 200g samples of green coffee to customers with intent to calibrate or purchase.<\/p>\n
