1. GREEN COFFEE TEST SAMPLES
When selecting a green coffee, we previously test aromatic features of beans. Small samples are taken to ensure that the batch of coffe complies with our quality standards.
Our test protocol aims at verifying color, umidity and integrity of beans. Wheter all samples exeed our standards, the green coffee is selected and purchased.
Selected green coffee is delivered into jute bags of 60 kg each. After delivery, further tests are carried out before stocking and preparing beans for roasting.

People making the difference
