Strategic Coffee Procurement

We don’t just buy coffee beans; we secure supply chains. At TRG, the journey of your coffee begins long before it hits the Foundry. Sourcing is the foundation of TRG Way & Is essential to quality and consistency.

This tier is built for stability, body, and value.

Robusta: We source high-grade, clean Robusta for traditional espresso blends that require a thick crema and a powerful caffeine kick.

Foundation Arabica: Reliable, high-density crops from Brazil predominantly. These are the workhorses for high velocity roasting on the NR60 to create consistent, chocolatey bases for large-scale wholesale and high-street demand.

Our mid-tier sourcing focuses on to name a few Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua & Peru.
These coffees offer a balance of distinct character and commercial scalability required, offering notes of caramel, stone fruit, and balanced acidity.

For partners looking for headline-grabbing flavour, we source seasonal micro-lots from Unique Origins all over the world.
These beans are selected for their unique "DNA" and are roasted to highlight the delicate floral and tea-like aromatics that our 100% convection technology preserves so well.

We source a unique profile exclusively for your brand, backed by a Forward Legal Contract and a Price Promise.
We can secure your year-long volume, protecting your margins from market volatility.

The Standards of Procurement

Reputable Green Partners

We source high-quality specialty & commercial coffees through our network of green coffee partners.
By aligning with industry-leading importers and cooperatives, we ensure every kilo of coffee entering our facility is backed by a transparent and ethical footprint. These partnerships allow us to provide commercial security for our clients, ensuring that your supply remains stable and of the highest calibre year-round.

Sensory & Physical Analysis

Our QC process is a digital first operation. Before a contract is signed, every sample undergoes a rigorous "Physical Audit" in our lab:

  • Moisture & Water Activity: To ensure long term stability in our storage.
  • Density Grading: To calibrate the specific heat-transfer requirements of the Netoec.
  • Screen Sizing: Ensuring uniformity for a perfectly even roast.

The "Price Promise" Framework

In a volatile global market, we provide our partners with Financial Predictability.
When you enter a custom procurement contract with TRG, we "Forward Book" the physical coffee at a fixed price. We then manage the stock levels within our 14,000 sq ft roastery ensuring that even if the global market spikes, your landed cost-per-kilo remains exactly where we agreed. It’s not just a supply chain; it’s a hedge against inflation.
