Is your office still consuming colonial coffee?

Virtually all the coffee in the world leaves it’s place of origin as raw material. It is then roasted and sold in the consuming countries. This leads to an inequitable value chain.

Meaning most of the money is kept where we consume coffee—not where we produce coffee. That’s not right.

Are spent farming and processing coffee. Roasting takes an average of 20 min.

We're trying to change that,

That’s precisely why all of our coffee is roasted at origin.

We want to facilitate the sourcing of socially responsible coffee at scale. Connecting farmer unions with roasters and taking care of logistics to deliver quality coffee, while regenerating the entire coffee value chain.

Shorter supply chains mean more efficiency, more transparency and more fairness.

Driving digitalization in producing countries leads to optimized and automated processes.

Striving for a fair value allocation and building trust between producing and consuming countries while delivering world class coffee, at a fraction of the cost.

Higher quality — For you.

Coffee beans begin to degrade as soon as they are harvested, so the closer the roast is to the point of origin, the fresher the beans will be.

More sustainable — For the planet.

Roasting at origin can also be more sustainable, as it reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting the beans long distances.

Transparent and fair — For everyone.

By working directly with farmers, we ensure that a larger portion of the profits from coffee sales go back to the communities where the coffee is grown.

The concept of roasting-at-origin is an amazing one and one that benefits all stakeholders along the coffee value chain.

Our family has been producing and exporting green coffee for decades, but this mostly benefits traders, factories and multinationals and the percentage that is going to the farmers is really small. Therefore farmers have very little incentive to improve their processes or the quality of their coffees.

On the other hand, with Coffee Annan buying direclty from farmers and working with local processors, roasters and suppliers, I think that gives back a lot and supports the development of all involved parties.

Consequently, adding to the economy of the country at the same time. So yeah, it’s a really cool concept.

FAQs

We’re here for you if you need help

Can't find the information you're looking for? Reach out! We're happy to help.

Why is the coffee roasted in the countries of origin?

At the moment 99% of the coffees are shipped as raw material. The consequence is that 90% of the producing countries dependent on financial aid. We believe that keeping as much value creating steps as possible in the countries of origin will help countries like Ethiopia to become self-sustained. That's why we are building a platform with coffee producers to enable the trade of real products instead of raw materials.

What about the quality?

We source specialty coffees, which belong to the best coffee's money can buy. All our partners are well-trained coffee experts. Our coffees are carefully drum-roasted according to our Coffee Annan specifications.

Is your coffee good?

Sure thing it is. We put a lot of love and energy in the product development. We tested many hundreds of different coffees until we were happy with our office coffee. It took us nearly 2 years to find our office coffee.

Why do we need Coffee Annan to buy roasted coffee from producers?

Honestly, you don't need us for that. Our mission is to help coffee countries to become more independent. We are happy if you decide to drink roasted-at-origin coffees, even if you don't use our service. However, part of our service includes a crowd-shipping that allows us to negotiate better shipping deals. So probably, the transfer will be cheaper with us ;) By the way, our service also includes green bean sourcing, product development, quality management, import, and export and the extra portion of love we put in every bag.

Do I see where our money flows?

Absolutely. We disclose all our buying prices.

What if our coffee volume changes every month?

Five days before a subscription is renewed, you get a notification. So, you can easily manage your subscription and change the volume with every order. This is also possible for the SAVE subscription. Our team can consult you anytime.

How does multiple location shipping work?

You need to ship to different locations? No problem. From the Coffee Annan dashboard, you can handle all your locations easily. You decide if you get one invoice for all locations, or a separate invoice for every single one.

Where do you ship?

We ship to the entire European Union, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. We partner with DHL, DPD, GLS, Fedex and Swiss Post to provide you a fast and reliable service.

How does the office supply work?

We have a FLEX and a SAVE subscription. For the FLEX subscription you are charged monthly, but you can pause, change or cancel your subscription anytime. The SAVE subscription gives you a 10% discount on every order. You are charged monthly for 12 consecutive months until the subscription renews. Five days before a subscription is renewed, you get a notification. So, you can easily manage your subscription in your dashboard and find all invoices in one place.

Is your coffee Fairtrade?

Even better. We follow a direct-trade model. We visit farmers regularly and we only buy gourmet beans. The sourcing of high-quality coffees allows us to pay premium prices, which are always above the Fairtrade price. We believe this model is more efficient than the label industry and enables us and the farmers to shape the future together.‍
