When should a buyer book contract roasting instead of green?
Book contract roasting when you sell finished coffee but do not own a roastery, or when your own capacity is committed and a line needs covering. We roast to your target Agtron or reference sample, hold the approved profile with a fixed green allocation, and dispatch within seven days of roast. Minimums are 500 kg per profile on arabica and island robusta and 1,000 kg on the volume robusta lots. If you do roast in house, buy the green instead: you keep control of the profile and the freshness clock starts in your own warehouse.
