Interested in purchasing Josuma Select® green coffee?  Below are some of the basics of how we operate:

WAREHOUSING:  We store our full selection at a third-party warehouse located in the San Francisco Bay Area.  We also co-locate our most popular beans at The Annex (in Northern California) which also warehouses beans from other best-in-class importers.

PRICING & MINIMUMS:  Minimum purchase is one bag (100-132 pounds, depending upon the coffee). We do offer price breaks for larger purchases. Please note that prices are subject to change without notice.

ADDITIONAL CHARGES:  The warehouses impose additional fees, including charges for loading out, palletizing, shrink wrapping, and/or strapping. The amounts vary by location. We add those charges to each buyer’s bill.

PAYMENT TERMS:  We require payment prior to release of coffee. We accept all major credit cards. We can also accept ACH or wire transfers.

SHIPPING/LOGISTICS: Once a buyer has paid for the coffees, we will issue a Release Order to the warehouse. Buyer will then be responsible for arranging transport of the coffee from the warehouse to buyer’s location. Buyer bears cost and risk of transport.

Shipping via Freight: For roasters without freight relationships, we recommend contacting Unishippers (a freight broker). While their central office only works with large shippers, there’s a local branch that works extensively w/ small and mid-sized coffee roasters throughout the US. Once you’ve set up an account with them, Josuma can easily coordinate your logistics directly with them. Contact us, and we can forward the appropriate account setup form.  

Shipping via UPS Ground: Josuma can ship one bag purchases via our UPS Ground account. We add that charge to each buyer’s bill.

TURNAROUND TIME FOR ORDERS: Orders received prior to 9am PT can often be ready to ship the next business day. Green coffee is a morning industry, so add another business day for orders placed in the afternoon/evening.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:  We recommend that buyers located outside the US retain the services of a freight forwarder in the destination country. The forwarder can handle shipping and, more importantly, can work with a US-based freight forwarder to pick up the coffee from the warehouse and deliver it to the port. Working with a freight forwarded in the destination country (rather than a US-based one) will gives a buyer greater recourse with issues that invariably arise during transport.

HOME ROASTERS:  Home roasters willing/able to purchase one bag can buy from us directly. For those seeking smaller quantities, we supply many of our coffees to re-sellers that cater to the home roasters and nano-roasters:

• Coffee Project (Malabar Gold Espresso, Super Grade Monsooned Malabar, Kaapi Royale, Monsooned Robusta, and Washed Arabica Microlot)
• Lost Dutchman Coffee (Super Grade Monsooned Malabar, Kaapi Royale, and Monsooned Robusta)
