Product 02 — Côte d'Ivoire origin
Green robusta coffee
Côte d'Ivoire is one of Africa's major robusta origins. We consolidate coffee from producing regions, have it graded to your specification and ship it in jute bags.
Green robusta coffee
A red cherry, a graded bean
Ivorian robusta is picked ripe, dried and then hulled. We buy coffee in husk or already hulled depending on the region, then have it graded by screen size and defect count to meet the buyer's grade.
Green coffee is stored flat, away from humidity, and bagged in 60 kg jute just before stuffing to preserve its moisture level.
