Q2: How long does it take for the coffee beans to ship after harvest?

The shipment timelines depend on several factors including the processing method, demand, and logistical considerations. Generally, after the beans are collected, they undergo a drying period which can last a few weeks. After drying:

• The Ethiopian green coffees, such as the Yirgacheffe and Sidamo Hamamo, usually take about 2-3 months from the start of processing to shipping.
• Kenyan beans, like the Select PLUS AA, take approximately the same time frame, depending on the global demand and port logistics.

Q3: How can I ensure the freshness of the coffee I import?

Purchasing directly after the harvest season ensures the beans are freshest. Roasting also affects freshness, so it is important to maintain the beans in their green state until you're ready to roast. Our commitment to transparency helps you track your orders efficiently and guarantees the high quality of green beans we supply.
