Source with confidence

We source, hold, and distribute green coffee across Australia and Singapore. From high-volume staples to curated specialty lots, we help roasters manage risk, maintain quality, and plan ahead.

Every coffee has a provenance

We work across 19 origin countries, balancing established supply lines with newer relationships we are building season by season. Some of these partnerships go back a decade. Others are just getting started.

Burundi

Red currant · Stonefruit · Floral lift

Volcanic soil, high altitudes, and best lots that rival anything East Africa offers. Our partnership with Migoti Coffee gives us direct access to washed, natural and anaerobic variants.

Africa

India

Spice · Dark chocolate · Cedar

Genuine breadth across both Arabica and Robusta. Monsooned Malabar has no direct equivalent anywhere else. We source from estates with long track records in the southern growing regions.

Dark chocolate · Earth · Molasses

Wet-hulling in Aceh produces those distinctive full-bodied profiles that anchor so many espresso blends. We carry Grade 1 Double Picked intermittently, bringing it in when the right lots come to hand.

PNG

Cocoa · Spice · Tropical fruit

Cleaner and more defined than its Indonesian neighbours. Jamaican Blue Mountain Typica seedstock. One of our closest origin partnerships: we supply green grading equipment to Lass Malo so they can process their own coffees independently. Supporting female exporters like Maureen has been a founding principle since day one.

Timor-Leste

Cocoa · Dried fruit · Brown sugar

Birthplace of the Timor Hybrid, with rare endemic Typica diversity. All coffee here is naturally organic by law. With many years working alongside our closest neighbour in our Australian backyard, this is an origin we are deeply invested in.

Mexico

Milk chocolate · Almond · Brown sugar

Well-sourced lots from Chiapas and Oaxaca offer clean, balanced profiles that work hard in blends. Mexico is also where we source our Mountain Water Process decaf, chemical-free, using glacier water from Pico de Orizaba. An origin more roasters should be paying attention to.

In the Cup Milk chocolate · Almond · Brown sugar
Body Light to medium
Acidity Mild and soft
North America

Brazil

Milk chocolate · Caramel · Roasted nuts

World's largest producer. The diversity of regions and processing here makes Brazil far more versatile than its commodity reputation suggests. We source across multiple states, from reliable naturals to more distinctive pulped lots.

In the Cup Milk chocolate · Caramel · Roasted nuts
Body Full and rounded
Acidity Low and smooth
South America

Colombia

Caramel · Orange · Stonefruit

Third largest producer, and an origin we keep coming back to. Our Miraflores Selection covers both main and fly-crop harvests across Cauca, Tolima, Antioquia, Nariño, Huila, and more. Regional diversity runs from fruit-forward Nariño to structured Antioquia, with experimental processing pushing the range wider every season.

In the Cup Caramel · Orange · Stonefruit
Body Medium and silky
Acidity Balanced and crisp
South America

Peru

Cocoa · Brown sugar · Almond

High-altitude Arabica from Cusco and surrounding regions. Dependable coffees that hold up in blends, and a reliable source of new crop supply when Central American harvests wind down. Worth knowing when you're planning your calendar.
