Frequently asked questions

What buyers ask us about green coffee

What is the price of green coffee beans per ton?

It's quoted weekly based on the origin market, in US dollars per metric ton, FOB, CFR or CIF. It depends on type, screen, cup and volume, so tell us what you need and we'll send you a price.

Do you supply green coffee to importers and roasters?

Yes. We're a trading company based in Villarrobledo, Spain, and we ship Brazilian green coffee by the container to importers, roasters and food industry buyers.

How many bags of green coffee fit in a 20-foot container?

Between 19 and 20 metric tons, which is about 316 to 333 bags of 60 kg. We can also load it in big bags.

What does NY 2/3, screen 17/18, fine cup mean?

It's the usual way to order Brazilian coffee. Type 2/3 means 4 to 25 defects per 300 g, screen 17/18 is a large bean, and fine cup refers to the cup test. Each lot's grade is fixed in the contract.

What is the maximum moisture for Brazil green coffee?

Brazil's grading standard sets a maximum of 12.5%. Keeping beans below it prevents mold and ochratoxin A in storage and in transit.

Do you sell bulk green coffee beans in bags or big bags?

Both. We ship in 60 kg jute bags, with GrainPro liners or in big bags, always by the full container.
