Lucatelli sources specialty-grade green coffee directly from farms and mills that prioritize quality, sustainability, and traceability. We work closely with producers across multiple origins, selecting lots based on scoring, cleanliness, moisture stability, and cup character. Whether you’re seeking classic profiles or complex microlots, every offering meets strict quality standards and includes complete transparency on processing methods, farm details, and arrival timelines.
Quality control begins at the farm and continues through export. Each lot undergoes calibrated cupping, moisture and density testing, defect screening, and sensory evaluation to guarantee predictable roast behavior. We monitor processing steps, drying curves, storage conditions, and container preparation to protect the coffee’s integrity. This end-to-end oversight ensures roasters receive clean, reliable, high-performing coffee with minimal risk of variation or defects.
Yes. Every Lucatelli product includes detailed traceability: farm or mill information, processing method, scoring, harvest period, logistics data, and arrival status. We believe roasters deserve complete clarity, so nothing is hidden or generalized. This transparency helps you communicate confidently with your customers, maintain quality standards, and make better sourcing decisions based on real farm-level information rather than marketing claims or incomplete documentation.
We manage logistics from origin to destination, handling container loading, export documentation, ocean freight, warehousing, and delivery coordination. By controlling each step, we reduce delays, protect coffee quality, and maintain accurate timelines for roasters. Whether you need port pickup or door-to-door service, our logistics support ensures reliable transportation and clear communication, helping you plan roasting schedules, inventory management, and customer distribution more effectively.
Our pricing remains competitive because we operate without unnecessary middle layers. Lucatelli manages production, processing, and export directly, avoiding speculative markups common in traditional trading models. This allows us to offer fresh-crop, high-scoring coffees at fair, consistent rates. With direct relationships, efficient logistics, and transparent cost structures, you receive exceptional value while maintaining full visibility into what you’re paying for and why.
