All of Josuma’s green, unroasted coffees from India are marketed in North America under the trade name Josuma Select®. We use this designation to certify estates that grow, pick, and process their coffees to Josuma’s exacting standards.
Few Indian coffees (less than 1 percent) qualify for the Josuma Select label. And the decision to purchase coffee from a given farm will typically be a two- or three-year process as we assess not just the quality of a particular harvest but also the year-to-year consistency. Where needed, we’ll also request improvements in growing, picking, wet-mill and/or dry-mill practices.
In our buying decisions, Josuma aims to purchase any given coffee for at least three years, if not indefinitely. That makes Josuma a more reliable partners (for BOTH farms and roasters) compared to the typically American importer that just cherry picks each year’s purchases.

USE THESE JOSUMA SELECT® GREEN COFFEES FOR DRIP COFFEE AND COLD BREW:
We print the Josuma Select® mark on the outside of every bag. We don’t supply other importers, so Indian coffee without this mark may be coming from less reliable sources.
Josuma Select® Logo is printed on all bags of Josuma green coffee.
We double bag all our coffees, with an outer bag featuring the Josuma Select® logo and coffee descriptions and an unmarked inner bag. In addition to protecting the coffee beans throughout the handling process, double bagging helps control the aging of the beans during storage.
All of Josuma’s green samples are of very high prep standards, similar to Euro-prep. Because of this uniformity, Josuma’s beans roast with very good development (i.e. a decided first crack and linear second crack) and feature nice finishes and hearty aromas that foretell strong cups.
