Information

Tejo Verde uses two size specifications for its lots based on the mesh system used in Colombia.

• Extra 16+

• U.G.Q. 14+

You can see the size specification in each lot profile.

• All our coffees have a maximum defect tolerance of 1%, although we always strive to keep this percentage as close to 0% as possible.

• Defects: We carefully select, eliminating black beans, beans that have been attacked by fungi or insects, cracked or crushed, crystallized beans, over-fermented beans, and deformed beans to ensure the highest quality in our lots.

All Tejo Verde lots have a humidity level between 10% and 12.9%.

All Tejo Verde lots are cupped individually by a professional cupper (Q grader) to determine their sensory profile and SCA score. This description can only be viewed on the website by registered users.

• Tejo Verde will be responsible for submitting the necessary documents to Colombian customs for the coffee to be shipped.

• Once the coffee arrives in Japan, it is the customer's responsibility to process the customs clearance. To this end, Tejo Verde will provide the customer with the following documents: Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, and Invoice.

• Remember that when making a purchase, the customer must process the "Food Import Notification" with the Ministry of Health and Welfare before submitting the customs declaration.

• If necessary, Tejo Verde will provide additional support.

Once you have paid for your coffee, it takes approximately 14 days for the coffee to arrive at a Japanese airport for customs clearance. During this time, you can monitor your order using the tracking number that will be sent to you by email.

Tejo Verde offers two presentations for shipping green coffee:

● Traditional: The coffee is packed in a new GrainPro bag, then placed in an export-style fique sack, and finally, this sack is placed inside a corrugated cardboard box.

● Vacuum-packed: In this method, the coffee is vacuum-packed in special food-grade plastic bags, and the resulting cubes are packed in a corrugated cardboard box.

All shipments made by Tejo Verde are insured against damage during the entire journey from our warehouse to your roastery.

• At Tejo Verde, we sell batches of 30kg, 60kg, and 120kg. These batches can only be purchased in their entirety. (You cannot purchase only a portion of a batch.)

• ​​Because the smallest batches at Tejo Verde are 30kg, this quantity becomes the minimum purchase.

• Due to national regulations, 60 kg is the maximum amount that can be shipped at a time. Therefore, if the customer purchases a 120 kg batch, it will be shipped in two separate 60 kg shipments, each shipped on the same day.

Credit/Debit Card: To ensure fast and secure payment for our customers, Tejo Verde uses the services of the American international payment company PayPal Inc.

• Sample size is 200 gr.

• If the customer wishes to request a sample of any of the lots, they can purchase it through the website. The cost of the lots corresponds to the shipping cost, customs documents, and the base price of the coffee. (Tejo Verde does not make any profit from the samples).

• We have a limited number of samples in Japan, so you should expect to receive it within approximately 4 days after purchasing it. Tejo Verde does not guarantee that the batch corresponding to the sample will not be sold to another customer, so please keep this in mind when ordering a sample.

We offer our customers the opportunity to visit the farms that work with Tejo Verde in Colombia. Please note the following requirements:

• Only customers who have made purchases at Tejo Verde can apply for travel.

• The customer is responsible for all transportation, accommodation, food, and other expenses that may arise.

If you are interested and meet the requirements, please contact Tejo Verde for more information and support.
