QUALITY CONTROL

Total quality control of green coffee is a team effort that starts with every one of the producers that consist of our supply chain in Nicaragua. Without their commitment and hard work during an entire year, the first stage of quality control which occurs during the picking of the ripe coffee cherries and wet milling would never be accomplished.

During the harvesting season, we receive wet parchment coffee that has to go through a delicate process of slow sun drying on raised beds with shade. When firstly received, each lot is analyzed individually to determine its physical quality (% of defects and moisture). After the sun drying process finishes, we carry out the cupping process of each lot and grade it according to cup quality. We have a commitment with every one of our producers to be transparent with our lab cupping results, so they are fully aware of the quality and market value of their coffees.

We can offer specific taste profile and quality grade according to the needs or preferences of our clients. When we have micro lots scoring over 86 points, this coffee is separated and milled individually. This business model enables our customers to plan ahead and to repeatedly buy according to a particular cup profile, quality level or price point as required.

TRACEABILITY OF YOUR COFFEE

We have established a 100% traceability system that allow us to identify where every kilo of your coffee comes from. From the quality control perspective, the system provides efficient feedback to our producers to optimize the efforts done at the farm level.

From the roaster perspective, it creates opportunity to forge a deeper relationship with the coffee producer and contributes with the economic, social and positive environmental impact within the local community.
