Coffee Bean Supply

Our roastery offers a large variety of roasted coffee of different origins, qualities, and price points. Our Specialty Grade Coffee is processed under strict specialty standards combined with unique industrial roasting techniques. The head roaster has been learning from different schools of coffee roasting and world champions. He is an internationally certified (Master Coffeologist, SCAA, SCAE, Q-Grader) roaster and roaster trainer. 

What is Specialty Grade Coffee?

There are different definitions on this subject, we go by the most logical and practical standards. We would examine the amount of defects before (from 350 g of green bean sample) and after they are roasted (from 100 g of roasted bean sample). Taste evaluation is also crucial, a cupping score of 80 and above is the minimum requirement for us to deem a coffee specialty by the standard of Q-grading.  

To further enhance our specialty standards in practice, we would hand-pick out any defect beans before roasting, utilise a de-stoner to minimalise the risk of foreign objects, and pick out as many quakers as possible right after roast (less than 9 quakers can be found in 1 kg of roasted coffee according to standards). These protocols are in place to serve our purpose of constantly searching for unique and excellent flavours in coffee without compromising quality. 

How about Fine Commercial Grade Coffee?

For those who are looking for a decent “everyday” coffee, we also offer fine commercial grade coffees in the form of different blends; each crafted to achieve popular flavour profiles people are searching for. Although the standards are less strict in this category, we still utilise the de-stoner and practise double hand-picking to further reduce defects before and after roast. We respect all coffees the same way in our roastery despite their variance in grades and price, we want to ensure our customers will be delivered coffees with consistent quality and great value for what they pay for.

You will find below an example of international standard for sampling and grading coffee according to defect and cup quality.
