A Burundi green-coffee desk. Documented at every step.
Specialty coffee has become a paperwork industry. The best lots are the ones you can prove — origin, altitude, processing, screen size, cupping score, phytosanitary status, chain of custody. Anything less than the full stack is a story.
Qahwa Coffee Group is a green-coffee desk built around a single origin — Burundi — worked across three grade tiers. Our anchor relationship is COPROCAME in Muyinga Province, source of our flagship FW 15+ programme. Alongside them we work with a curated network of Burundi processing partners for Natural Grade 1 and TT Grade fully-washed.
Every bag ships with an ICO Certificate of Origin, a phytosanitary release, and a cupping report scored against the SCA scale. If we can't produce a document, we don't sell the coffee. It's that specific.
What's on the desk right now.
Four lots from the current COPROCAME programme. Scored 83.0–86.5 by COPROCAME's own quality office. Minimum order: 60 kg per grade tier.
