How to Buy

From a 60 kg trial to a full container.

Buying Ugandan green coffee from us is simple and honest. It starts with a sample — but if you already know our coffee, you can order straight away.

It starts with a sample.

Tell us what you roast, and we'll send you samples of our current lots, plus our offer sheet — live lots, cup scores, and clear prices. Cup it in your own lab, on your own terms. No pressure, no obligation. Already know our coffee? Skip the sample and order straight away — 300 kg is preferred, with a 60 kg trial available by arrangement.

Three ways to buy

Samples & Small Lots

Start with a sample, then place a preferred 300 kg FOB order or ask about a 60 kg trial by arrangement.

Forward Booking

Reserve coffee from a coming harvest for steady supply and better pricing.

Full Container

A full 20-ft container — about 300–320 bags — prepared and delivered FOB at the named port of shipment.

Samples & Small Lots (Consolidated)

The easiest way to start

Order 300 kg, or arrange a 60 kg trial.

Our preferred order is five bags (300 kg), but we can arrange a one-bag (60 kg) trial. We prepare the coffee and complete FOB export delivery at the named port of shipment. You or your freight partner arrange the main carriage, insurance, import, and onward delivery. We confirm that the loading setup supports true FOB delivery before accepting the order.

Forward Booking (Reserve a Harvest)

For steady, consistent supply

Lock in coffee and price early.

Reserve a volume from a coming Ugandan harvest in advance. You lock in the coffee and a clear price early, and we secure it for you at origin. Booking ahead means better selection and better pricing — and you can plan your roasting around a reliable arrival.
