How to Buy

From five bags 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 — from just five bags.

Three ways to buy

Samples & Small Lots

Start with a sample, then buy from just five bags. We combine orders into one shared container.

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 — shipped direct from Uganda to your port.

Samples & Small Lots (Consolidated)

The easiest way to start

Order from just five bags.

Order from just five bags (300 kg) — no need to commit to a whole container. We combine your order with other roasters' orders into one shared 20-ft container (about 300–320 bags) and ship it together. You get small amounts of traceable Ugandan coffee, without the cost or risk of a full container. We handle sourcing, export, and shipping — you just tell us what you need.

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.

For buying at scale

About 300–320 bags, direct to your port.

Contract a full 20-ft container (about 300–320 bags) direct from Uganda, shipped to your port in the US or Canada. We curate the lots, handle export and logistics, and keep it fully traceable from farm to your door. Contracting early in the harvest secures the best lots and pricing.
