World Coffee Market in 2025
The price of coffee is going up. It’s helpful to understand why. Let’s touch the surface on what’s impacting the price, and then see what you can do about it to keep specialty coffee in your mugs.
What does ‘fresh harvest’ mean?
When you say you want ‘fresh harvest coffee’, how fresh are you talking? And how old are you willing to use? Whilst we all desire to work with fresh crop lots and revel in its vibrancy, are you aware that your access to ‘fresh crop’ may not be as ‘fresh’ as you think, making it important to understand what this term really refers to and how we approach the term. The life of a green coffee bean needs to go through the following steps and timeline: So what does this mean for your ‘fresh harvest’ lot? Green beans arrive at your roastery 4-8 months after harvest, and this is […]
Prepayment Plans at Origin
Project Origin, in 2023, is implementing prepayment plans for the farmers who pick cherries for the Thageini Washing Station in Kenya. Over the upcoming years, we will see the differences the advanced payments can make to the community, and we will report back with the results. Here is everything to know about prepayment plans. What is a prepayment? A prepayment plan is where we, as an exporter, pay an agreed amount for a coffee before the coffee begins harvesting or processing. You can think of it like a deposit. Farmers and producers are often able to predict the seasons’ harvest based on how the coffee trees flower. Using this understanding, […]
Sustainability in Rwanda
“Supporting women is to support all nations” Nova Coffee in Rwanda, founded and managed by the wonderful Agnes Mukamushinja, began as a family business in 2015. Since that time, they have grown in size, maturity and understanding for how to best empower the lives of all in the community.

Ageing Green Beans
Ordering coffee to last a year’s worth of roasting It is important to know your harvesting calendar. Most origins will harvest their cherries only once per year. This means that you have one opportunity every twelve months to secure lots from that origin, and those lots will last you until they undertake the next harvest. Harvested coffee takes several weeks to be picked, processed, dried and rested before it can be milled and exported. Even the exporting phase can take a couple of months. This means that green beans are often already 4 months old by the time they arrive at our warehouse doors. So catering for twelve months worth […]
ElArbolでの持続可能性
In 2015, Saša Šestić and Claudia Lovo teamed up to purchase land in Dipilto, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. This land was previously used to grow commercial grade coffee trees, and both Saša and Claudia believed that they could convert it to producing high quality, specialty grade coffee. This farm was called El Árbol, after the giant tree that grew in the centre of the property, and today it is a symbol of community, sustainability, and quality specialty coffee. The goal at El Árbol was to create a fully sustainable specialty coffee farm by 2025. Upon purchasing the farm, they realised this goal would require many changes and a lot of work. […]

ダイレクトトレード
直接取引。私たちが知るようになった用語は存在しますが、消費者として私たちはそれを完全に理解していないかもしれません。直接取引の目的は、サプライチェーン全体にわたってサポートを提供することです。ロースターは、コーヒーを栽培・栽培している生産者から直接購入することで、製品に対する理解を深め、ビジネスの透明性を高めることができます。しかし、これは持続可能な取引モデルですか？ Project Originは、スペシャリティコーヒー業界は、サプライチェーンの最初と最後の間の接続性が文字通りの定義を超えている、より持続可能な直接取引モデルの構築に向けて取り組むべきだと考えています[…]
