About us
A sourcing company focusing solely on high quality green coffees
We’re experts in sourcing, trading & importing specialty green coffee for quality-driven roasters across the globe. With us, you’ll never have to read between the lines. What you see is what you’ll get.
Our Purpose
Specialty coffee is a complex, multifaceted industry, with challenges arising at every step. By leading the way coffee is sourced and traded, we can provide the best quality and be impactful across the entire value chain. Both roasters and farmers can therefore be part of a profitable, sustainable, and ethical industry.
With our people-centric approach, we cultivate long-lasting, genuine relationships, that are the drivers of our organisation’s 3 pillars:
Quality
We source unique, high quality coffee of 86+ points, from the most intriguing origins. We pay extra attention to innovation and thorough quality control at every step of the product cycle. Our coffee is the best in its category, and always has a story to go with it.
Transparency
We focus on obtaining detailed information on all our products, as well as price transparency throughout the entire value chain. We provide FOB pricing & producer pricing for all our coffees. By partnering with the right people and maintaining presence at origin, we don’t compromise on traceability.
Impact
Our aim is to have a positive environmental and social impact in every origin we operate in. By scaling the production of specialty, we incentivise farmers to invest and develop their products further. Market expansion generates good returns for producers, and it gives us the space to push for sustainability initiatives that create lasting value for all stakeholders across the value chain.
Services
We deliver a vast array of services for the coffee industry
We support all quality-oriented businesses, no matter their size, location, or years of experience. We know that all roasters are different, so we tailor our services to fit each of your needs individually.
Sourcing
We’re not afraid to dig deep, take risks and bet on new producers in the most challenging origins.
Quality Control
We implement quality checks from the very first coffees coming off the drying tables, to the ones ready for shipment. Our highly skilled team continuously, and repeatedly cups and scores each one of our coffees. We have strict protocols on the physical analyses of our products, their humidity, water activity, and density.
Spot Sales
You can order ready-to-dispatch coffee, pre-harvest options, or coffee from shipments on the way to our warehouse. In our offer list, we have a specific selection of origins with a great variety of seasonal options coming in throughout the year.
Purchase Planning
We can help you plan your coffee selection in advance, to secure seasonal, consistent and higher quality greens - and potentially save costs. You can also travel with us to origin, visit the producers we source from and cup lots of coffee.
Warehousing
Seabridge is a modern warehouse in Europe with the proper infrastructure to store and manage specialty coffee. It regulates the indoor climate and humidity levels and is mainly solar powered. If you don’t have your own storage possibilities, we’ve got you covered. The warehouse is located in Belgium.
Logistics
We offer competitive freight rates and efficient delivery services, no matter your location. Each of our sales reps is an expert in a different region with extensive knowledge on the requirements and regulations of each market.
Our vision
Shaping the future
As we continue to push boundaries, innovate, and lead the market’s evolution, we don’t plan on stopping there. By creating measurable impact and generating results across the entire value chain, we can actually build something tangible. We want to create a standard for sourcing, buying, and distributing specialty coffee that the industry can follow.
This will aim for 100% traceability, a fully transparent and fair price system, a carbon neutral product cycle, and a digitalised customer journey. By making this transition consistent and accessible throughout our different origins, roasters and farmers will achieve maximum possible returns.
