To ensure a steady supply of greens throughout the year, you can plan your purchases based on seasonality. Whether you look for the same profiles or like to mix it up, the harvest will keep you up to date with what to expect from each origin.
There is usually a high demand for Africas and Centrals at this time of year. These coffees are incoming and are scheduled to land in April, May, and onwards. If you need coffee now, you can check out our in-stock options and newest arrivals.
WHAT’S IN STOCK & READY FOR DISPATCH
As the harvest in some countries is over, new arrivals from certain origins will come much later on in the year. This will be in September at the earliest. If you need coffee from Peru, Indonesia, and Rwanda beforehand, we have a range of in-stocks in our warehouse. You’ll find good options for volume and organics from Peru.
BRAZIL
We have received three containers throughout January & February and are expecting one more to arrive in the beginning of March. You’ll find good value volume lots, microlots and special preps.
COLOMBIA
Colombia has an all year round production, so you can have coffee from this origin throughout most seasons. We are expecting new arrivals from Huila to land in March. Antioquian coffee is ready to go, as it arrived at the end of January.

QUESTIONS?
When in doubt, talk to your sales rep! They’re always informed on the harvest cycles, and know when to expect coffees from each origin. They can give you an indication of the best time to roast individual lots, and will send you the samples you need. You can also email us at coffee@nordicapproach.no.
