Owen and Aki with jute bags of green coffee at origin

Forward Sample Program

Five new Indonesian coffees. Every month.

Cupped at origin, sampled from Vancouver, and available to book at container scale before they ever hit the spot market.

The Program

Built for full-container buyers.

Every month, our sourcing team cups new coffees from producers across Indonesia and sends the standouts to our Vancouver office. Each one has already passed our quality bar at origin: a minimum of 82 points for washed and wet-hulled lots, and 84 points for naturals, honeys, and experimental processes.

These aren't spot lots sitting in a warehouse. They're forward opportunities: coffees we can secure at origin in full-container volume for buyers who commit early. You taste the sample, we handle the contract, the producer locks in the harvest, and the container ships to you.

The rotation refreshes monthly, so the catalogue keeps moving with Indonesia's harvest calendar, from Sumatra through Java to the eastern islands.


How It Works

From origin cupping table to your warehouse.

01

Sourced & cupped at origin

Our team in Indonesia sources new coffees from producers across the archipelago and cups every lot on arrival. Only coffees meeting our 82/84-point minimums move forward.

02

Samples land in Vancouver

Passing coffees ship to our Vancouver office each month with full traceability: producer, process, region, and the story behind the lot.

03

You taste the rotation

Request any sample from the current rotation. Each listing shows the available quantity and the estimated lead time if you ordered today.

04

Book your container

Commit forward and we secure the volume at origin: your coffee, your spec, shipped as a full container with documents travelling alongside.
