How does Algrano ensure the quality of specialty coffee?
| We maintain quality through direct producer vetting, evaluations by certified Q Graders, and a strict 3-stage sampling process: Producer Selection: We partner with growers who demonstrate high farming, harvesting, and processing standards. Q Grader Evaluation: All samples are scored and profiled by certified Q Graders at our Quality Lab in Zurich. 3-Stage Quality Check: Offer Sample: Cupped in Zurich to set the baseline quality, score, and profile. Pre-Shipment Sample (PSS): Cupped in Zurich before departure from origin to ensure the lot matches the original offer. Arrival Sample: Cupped in Zurich after landing in destination warehouses to verify green coffee stability and confirm quality before release for contracts with Quality Insurance. |
