Dar es Salaam QC & Export
All coffee is SCA-cupped at our Ubungo lab. We issue full QC reports, handle TCB/ICO docs, and stuff containers at our bonded warehouse. 7-day FOB turnaround after payment. |
Every lot is cupped in our Ubungo lab before export. We grade to Tanzania and SCA standards. No lot ships without approval. You receive a full QC report with your offer: grade, screen, moisture, density, defect count, SCA score, cup notes, and green bean photos. We reject >12.5% moisture at origin to protect you from mold claims.
We handle 100% of export paperwork so you don’t deal with TCB or port issues.
