Why Qashqai

Built for buyers who contract on numbers

The things that actually de-risk an international order — not vague promises.

📐

Specification discipline

Orders contracted on moisture, defect count, screen size, dimensions — never on adjectives.

🔬

Sample = shipment

Sealed pre-shipment samples retained by both sides. The shipped lot equals the approved sample.

🌐

Sourcing flexibility

A supplier network, not a single farm or factory — scalable to programs, matched to your need.

📄

Complete documentation

Full export document set, one point of contact from inquiry to delivery.

How an Order Flows

From inquiry to vessel, transparently

A disciplined six-stage flow used across both product lines.

1
Inquiry

You share spec, quantity, destination & target.

2
Quotation

We reconcile with supplier & quote, valid 5–7 days.

3
Sample

Offer sample, then pre-shipment approval sample.

4
Contract

Standard form, numeric spec, allowance clauses.

5
QC

Lab checks, sealed samples, optional SGS inspection.

6
Shipment

Stuffing, documents, B/L & full document set.

Tell us what you need. We'll tell you honestly what we can source.

Share your specification, quantity, destination port and target price. You'll get a specific, numeric response — fast.

Arabica & Robusta · Karnataka, India

Indian green coffee, sourced to your requirement

Washed, Natural & Monsooned — sourced across the Karnataka coffee belt for importers, roasters, blenders & soluble manufacturers. Every order contracted on numbers, confirmed against a sealed sample.

Why Indian Coffee

A network that flexes to your spec — not one farm's harvest

A supplier tied to one estate offers only what that farm produces. We source across estates, curing works, and trade partners — building supply around your requirement instead of around one farm's output.

  • Multiple grades & qualities, sourced to your written spec
  • Aggregated volume, scalable for ongoing programs
  • Washed, Natural & Monsooned processes available
  • Re-sourced to the same numeric spec, lot to lot

Indian Robusta — our core strength

India's largest export segment, valued for a cleaner, less harsh cup than much African or Vietnamese Robusta. Preferred for espresso blends, crema, and soluble manufacturing.
