Grade 1 Indonesian arabica green coffee prepared for sample evaluation

Five origins for distinct coffee programmes

Compare the current crop before choosing a lot. Cup scores are shown as bands because the precise result varies by lot and harvest.

  • Gayo, Sumatra

    Wet-hulled arabica from the Gayo and Lintong highlands, typically cupped at 84 to 86 points.

    Its heavier body and traditional giling basah character make it a strong candidate for single-origin espresso and lower-acidity filter programmes.

    • Process: Wet hulled
    • Typical cup band: 84–86
    • Green MOQ: From one 20 ft container
    • Grades: 1–6
  • Ijen, Java

    Fully washed arabica from estate blocks above 1,400 metres, typically cupped at 83 to 85 points.

    Screen 17 up at 90% retention makes this the most size-uniform arabica on our list, a useful choice when repeatable roast development matters.

    • Process: Fully washed
    • Typical cup band: 83–85
    • Screen: 17 up at 90% retention
    • Green MOQ: From one 20 ft container
  • Kintamani, Bali

    Washed arabica from subak abian producer groups on the slopes of Mount Batur, typically cupped at 84 to 86 points.

    Organic and Fairtrade volume is available by allocation. This lot suits roasters building a certified single-origin or seasonal retail programme.

    • Process: Washed
    • Typical cup band: 84–86
    • Green MOQ: From 9.6 MT
    • Certification: Organic and Fairtrade availability
  • Bajawa, Flores

    Natural-dried arabica from the Bajawa plateau, typically cupped at 84 to 86 points.

    The coffee is dried on raised beds for 18 to 22 days. Allocations are smaller than the main island origins, making it well suited to limited releases and seasonal menus.

    • Process: Natural dried
    • Typical cup band: 84–86
    • Green MOQ: From 9.6 MT
    • Availability: Limited seasonal allocations
  • Toraja, Sulawesi

    Wet-hulled arabica grown at 1,400 to 1,900 metres, typically cupped at 85 to 87 points.

    This is the highest-grown arabica we contract and the highest-scoring band on our current range.

    • Process: Wet hulled
    • Typical cup band: 85–87
    • Green MOQ: From one 20 ft container
    • Grades: 1–6

Know what you are buying before you contract

Every offer sheet states the measurements your green buyer and production roaster need to evaluate the lot:

  • Producer group and island
  • Harvest and post-harvest process
  • SCA cup-score band
  • Actual defect count per 300 g
  • SNI grade
  • Screen size and retention
  • Moisture
  • Available volume
  • Certification status
  • Minimum order and shipping window
  • Available FOB, CFR or CIF terms
  • The actual figures are published for the offered lot. We do not replace them with a general description such as “specialty grade.”

Cup all five islands side by side

  1. 01

    Tell us what you roast

    Send your preferred process, cup-score floor, roast application, approximate volume and destination port.

  2. 02

    Receive the samples and lot data

    We dispatch 300 g of each selected green lot with its grading sheet and cup score. A complete five-island comparison set is available.

  3. 03

    Choose the lot you want to contract

    After cupping, ask for current availability, price, lead time and shipping terms. The sample courier cost is credited against your first contract.

Request samples and current availability

Name the origins, grade, and cup profile you need, plus the destination and first-container volume. We will reply with current lots and sample options.

Submitting opens the request in your email app so you can review it before sending. We normally reply within one business day and use your details only for this enquiry.

One container can hold more than one origin

A 20 ft green-coffee container carries approximately 19.2 MT. Subject to sensible pallet volumes, buyers can divide a container between two or three island lots.

Bali and Nusa Tenggara lots can start at approximately 9.6 MT. They can also be combined with another origin on the same shipment.

Every component keeps its own:

  • Lot number
  • Bag count
  • Grading sheet
  • Cup score
  • Retained sample
  • Tell us which coffees you want to combine and your destination port. We will confirm whether the volumes can move together.

The shipment stays tied to the coffee you approved

Every offered lot is re-dried, density sorted, screen checked and cupped in Jakarta before it is released for sale.

We retain a sealed sample for the life of the contract. A pre-shipment sample can also be supplied before the container is sealed.

The offer sample, grading sheet, packing list and shipment documents remain tied to the same lot number. This gives both sides a physical reference if the coffee arriving at destination does not match the approved sample.

Green coffee is packed in GrainPro-lined jute with desiccant and a moisture indicator card.

Reserve repeat volume at harvest

Specialty lots are finite, particularly certified Kintamani and smaller Bajawa allocations.

Typical main harvest periods are:

  • Gayo: October to February
  • Kintamani: May to September
  • Bajawa: May to September
  • Toraja: May to September
  • Ijen: June to October
  • If the coffee is intended to return in your range next year, contract during the relevant harvest rather than relying on spot availability. Forward contracting allows the same producer group and processing specification to be reserved for the next programme.

Certified specialty coffee

Certified volume is available on selected physical lots rather than across the entire catalogue.

Depending on origin and harvest allocation, programmes can include:

  • Organic EU/NOP
  • Fairtrade
  • Rainforest Alliance
  • 4C
  • Halal documentation
  • ISO 22000-covered warehousing and grading
  • Tell us which certification must appear on your contract or finished product. We will confirm availability and provide the relevant transaction-certificate details with the offer.

Frequently asked questions

Selection standards, samples, order volumes, repeat supply and delivered pricing.

What qualifies a coffee for this specialty selection?

The Grade 1 sort must cup at 83 points or better, hold screen 16 or above at 90% retention and contain no more than eight full defects per 300 g under SCA green grading. The precise figures are published for each offered lot.

Can I request samples of all five origins?

Yes. The standard comparison set contains 300 g of each available island arabica with its grading sheet and cup score. Samples normally dispatch within two working days.

What is the minimum green-coffee order?

Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi normally start at approximately 19.2 MT, or one 20 ft container. Bali and Nusa Tenggara can start at approximately 9.6 MT. Mixed-origin containers are possible where each lot has a practical shipping volume.

Can you supply the same coffee at a lower grade for blends?

Yes. The same origins are available further down the SNI grade ladder for blend programmes. Tell us the grade, screen, moisture and price position you need.

Can I reserve the same profile for another season?

We can contract forward with the same producer group, but coffee remains an agricultural product and no two crops are identical. The next harvest is sampled and cupped against the retained reference before you approve the new contract.

Can you quote delivered pricing?

Green coffee is available on FOB, CFR or CIF terms. Send your destination port and required volume so the offer can include the appropriate freight basis.

How quickly will I receive an offer?

Initial enquiries are usually answered within one business day. Availability and pricing are confirmed against the current lot list before a formal quotation is issued.
