If you have a coffee you would like to place into a Sensible Coffee auction we will need to first roast, cup and taste the coffee to approve the quality.
Once approved we pack, store and ship samples of your coffee for you directly from our warehouse. So all you need to do is send a sample and leave the rest to us.
The auction process allows us to showcase unique and interesting seasonal Specialty coffee from all over the world.
So each week there could be something new to discover. As we design each auction to be diverse and unique, there is always something for everyone.

We cup, grade and distribute coffee samples whilst facilitating shipping, logistics and pre-financing. This makes discovery and connection throughout the coffee chain easy, allowing producers and buyers to trade green coffee with confidence.
