Indonesian Coffee Buyer Guides

These guides are the practical side of the coffee Intelligence Desk. The rest of the coffee desk explains what Indonesian coffee is: the origins, the grades, the processing, and the rules that govern it. This section explains how to buy it.

The aim is simple. If you are importing Indonesian green coffee, you should know what each step costs you, what each document proves, and where the risk sits at every stage. We have written these to be useful to a first time importer building a first contract, and to an experienced green buyer who wants the Indonesian specifics laid out clearly.

Three guides sit here. The first walks the full journey, from defining your requirement through to delivery at destination, in numbered steps. The second shows you how to read a certificate of analysis, so you can check a lot against your contract before you accept it. The third explains the difference between FOB and CIF, the two sea freight terms you will most often be quoted, and what each one does and does not include.

Read them in order if you are new to this, or go straight to the one you need. Each links to the others and to the reference pages behind them. When you want a firm price or a specific origin assessed against your spec, Contact Us.
