Roasted Coffee

Foodservice and distribution

Institutional volume bought on specification. The application origin roasting suits best, and the one where certification decides fastest.

Why does Robusta suit foodservice?

Because foodservice is bought on consistency, body in milk, caffeine and cost per cup rather than on aromatic top notes. Robusta delivers all four, and it tolerates the transit an origin-roasted programme involves far better than light-roast specialty does.

What formats do you supply?

5 kg foodservice bags and portion sachets, whole bean or ground to a specified grind. Case counts and pallet configuration are set per format and confirmed before a first order rather than after.

Roasted packaging formats. Specifications are unconfirmed until the packaging supplier has quoted them.

What will your procurement team ask for that we cannot supply yet?

Food safety certification. SQF or BRCGS is a hard requirement for most institutional and contract catering accounts, verified directly with the certification body. We hold none today and publish our status in full rather than implying readiness.

Certification status. No certification is claimed unless the status column says it is held.

If your programme requires certification in hand, we are not ready for that account yet — and you would rather know now than after a tender.
