Become a supplier. Consistency first, price second.
// GREEN COFFEE · PACKAGING · POS MATERIALS · EQUIPMENT · SERVICES
True Cafe produces on a controlled industrial model, so the supply chain must be as stable as a production line: each lot like the last, delivered on time, published specs matching the goods actually received.
Selling to a factory,
unlike selling to traders.
-
Steady volume year-round, not tied to traders' seasons
Two factories run continuously, so raw material demand is spread evenly across the months. Partners can plan production instead of waiting until harvest to know how much they can sell.
-
Acceptance criteria spelled out upfront
Moisture, defect rate, screen size — set in numbers in the contract. No surprise reasons for price deductions at delivery.
-
Paid on time, as signed
Payment terms under a framework contract, no chasing each installment. This is usually the biggest difference from selling through middlemen.
-
Maintain quality and get priority for expansion
Partners who stay consistent across seasons are the first invited to increase volume when the factory expands.
-
Technical feedback after every lot
Cupping and lab test results are sent back. Partners know the strengths and weaknesses of their lot to adjust next season, instead of just hearing "pass" or "fail".
-
Know why, even if you don't pass
Rejected applications always come with a specific reason. If it can be fixed, resubmit; the opportunity is never lost for good.
-
One contact, no layers of middlemen
Work directly with the factory's purchasing department — the price reaching partners isn't split across three layers of middlemen.
Five categories
seeking partners.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Green coffee | Farming households, cooperatives and buying agents in the Central Highlands growing region. Priority for traceable lots that are consistent across seasons. |
| Packaging, packing materials | Coffee bags, one-way valves, cartons, labels. |
| Point-of-sale materials | Paper cups, plastic cups, umbrellas, signage, uniforms. |
| Brewing equipment | Espresso machines, grinders, spare parts, maintenance services. |
| Services | Logistics, warehousing, printing, coffee bar construction. |
Five things
to include in your profile.
-
Legal entity information
Company name, tax ID, legal representative, address. Farming households and cooperatives send representative details along with their growing area.
-
Company profile
Main products, capacity or output, key customers.
-
Price list and terms
Unit price, minimum quantity, lead time, payment method.
-
Product samples
For green coffee, include lot information: growing region, crop year, processing method, moisture, defect rate.
-
Quality certifications
Quality or food safety certifications, if any. Not required for farming households.
From application
to framework contract.

Consistency first,
price comes second.
A good price with fluctuating quality won't last — every input deviation ends up in the café's cup, and when cafés lose customers, the factory loses customers.
That is why what matters most in a supplier is consistency, then price. Partners who keep quality steady across many seasons always get priority when True Cafe scales up volume.
