Quality Assurance: Inspected at Every Stage
In green coffee export, consistency is everything. Our objective is straightforward: to guarantee that every bag in your shipping container reflects the exact cup quality, physical grading, and moisture integrity of your approved pre-shipment sample.
The 7-Stage Inspection Workflow
Applied rigorously to every lot prior to container loading at port
Moisture Analysis
Strictly calibrated between 10.5% – 11.5% for bean longevity and roast uniformity.
Screen Size Verification
Exact mechanical sorting ensuring certified sizing (AA Screen 17/18, AB Screen 15/16, Robusta Screen 18).
Defect Analysis
Strict physical grading according to SCA and Kenya Coffee Directorate standards to eliminate defects.
Cup Evaluation
Independent Q-Grader sensory cupping verifying clean cup, aroma, acidity, and flavor complexity.
Container Fumigation
Certified phosphine / atmospheric gas fumigation ensuring 100% insect-free export containers compliant with Saudi SFDA, EU, and international customs standards.
Packaging Inspection
GrainPro hermetic liners inside heavy-duty 60kg jute bags protecting freshness in transit.
Export Documentation
Full phytosanitary certification, Certificate of Origin, and container inspection seals.
