Purchasing Wholesale Green Coffee Beans: Here’s What You Need to Know
“All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant’s revolving door.” – Albert Camus
You have to start somewhere, they always say, and what they mean by that is exactly what uncle Albert was saying: Beginnings are ridiculous. They just are. You look silly. You want to do what? Roast coffee? What do you mean you want to roast coffee?
And yet, you persisted. At least, I hope you did — and I hope you do.
Maybe it was, indeed, on a street corner, or while walking into your favorite coffeehouse, that you were caught by the crazy notion that you wanted to roast raw coffee beans and then — crazy on top of crazy — sell it to people. Maybe you’ve worked in the coffee industry for some time, as a barista or packing and delivering roasted coffee , when you decided you wanted to be a coffee roaster. Maybe you were already a roaster working for somebody else when you decided to strike out on your own. Maybe you were a coffee lover who never worked in coffee but started wondering if you could, if you might, do a thing that made people happy.
Every journey is different. That’s also something they always say. When it comes time to consider whether Olam Specialty Coffee should be a part of your journey as a roaster, remember that we only sell wholesale coffee beans by 60-70 kilo bags. How do you know when you’re ready to create an online account and start ordering 60-kilo bags of coffee from Olam?
Ready to purchase wholesale green coffee beans? Here’s what you need to know.
If you’re still reading, there is a good chance that at some point in the not-too-distant past you’ve Googled “buy a coffee roaster.” What a trip, right? When it comes to turning wholesale green coffee beans into brown coffee, it seems like the only limit is imagination. When it comes to roasting coffee for your own consumption, a cast iron frying pan or a popcorn popper are legitimate options. They might not be great options, but they are methods for roasting coffee that are used to varying degrees of success to produce small amounts of roasted coffee, usually for home consumption or “friends and family” distribution.
As fun as it might be to take the batteries out of your smoke detectors and roast coffee using any of the homespun methods you can find online, few of these ancient and/or inventive roasting methods are indicators that you’re ready to buy raw coffee beans from Olam , but not because we don’t like you or don’t want to sell you coffee. Olam Specialty Coffee is a business-to-business wholesaler. We sell wholesale green coffee beans, primarily, to companies that are in the coffee roasting business. First things first, you have to “be” in business.
