Seasonal Green Coffee

Seasonal green coffee beans are unroasted coffees bought close to their harvest date, when quality is at its peak. Unlike year-round staple coffees, seasonal lots are available for a limited time only - once stock sells out, we don't reorder until the following year's crop comes in.

We replenish our seasonal range roughly every quarter. East African origins like Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania typically land in Q1. Ethiopian and Kenyan lots arrive through Q2 and Q3. Central American coffees from Guatemala and Mexico, plus Asian origins, rotate through Q3 and Q4. Sign up to our newsletter to be first to know when new harvests land.

We buy each seasonal coffee in a single, fixed batch - the quantity available reflects what we were able to source from that harvest. We don't top up mid-season or substitute with inferior lots to maintain availability. When it's gone, it's gone. This is how we keep every bag genuinely fresh and traceable.

Not necessarily better in terms of score, but fresher and freshness matters enormously for green coffee. Beans bought close to harvest retain better moisture content, density and aromatic complexity, all of which affect how they behave in the roaster and what ends up in the cup.

Our range is split into three tiers. Staples are year-round coffees we work hard to keep in stock consistently. Seasonal coffees rotate with the harvest calendar and are available in limited quantities each year. Rare & Specials are limited lots, one-off finds - often a single bag - that don't fit neatly into either category. Once they're gone, they won't be restocked.

Our seasonal range draws from across the coffee-producing world — East Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda), Central America (Guatemala, Mexico, Panama), South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil), and Asia (India, China, Thailand, Timor-Leste). What's available at any given time depends on where we are in the harvest calendar.

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and strong odours. An airtight container or the sealed bag they arrive in works well. Properly stored, green coffee beans stay fresh for up to 12 months - though with seasonal lots, we'd always recommend roasting sooner rather than later to make the most of the fresh harvest.

Yes - all our seasonal coffees are available from as little as 0.5kg, making them accessible for home roasters as well as small-batch professionals. You can also mix and match 0.5kg and 1kg bags across different origins to build your own bundle, with discounts kicking in when you buy three or more bags.

Each seasonal coffee is sourced through an importer who specialises in their specific region - not a generalist trader. Our lots come through partners with deep, long-standing relationships at each origin. This regional depth means better access to quality lots and more transparent information about each coffee's provenance and processing.

Yes - as well as small quantities for home roasters, we supply seasonal green coffee beans in larger volumes for roasteries and commercial buyers. If you're looking for quantities beyond what's listed on the page, get in touch and we'll discuss what's available and what's coming in the next harvest window.
