FAQ

Roaster questions

Do you sell to small roasters or retail customers?

Our core business is container and LCL export. Small roasters in Indonesia can buy from 60 kg (one bag) through our Medan warehouse. We do not sell retail roasted coffee.

How long from order to shipment?

Usually 3–5 weeks from signed contract and advance payment to vessel departure from Belawan, depending on grade availability and the shipping line schedule.

Can I visit the dry mill in Medan?

Yes. Mill visits and cupping sessions are arranged through export sales, Monday to Friday. Visits to the Gayo cooperatives are scheduled during harvest season.
