Product overview
Nibs cracked and winnowed from the same fermented Sulawesi lots we ship whole, so the cup profile is one you can verify against our bean samples. Supplied ready to use as a bakery or bar inclusion, or as a mill-ready raw material for small chocolate makers who would rather skip roasting and winnowing. Minimum order is 1 MT, the lowest entry point in our processed range.
Roast and winnowing
Beans are roasted to a medium profile that keeps the fruit and cocoa notes of Sulawesi fermentation intact, then cracked and air-winnowed until shell is at or below 1.75%. Fat sits between 50 and 54% and moisture below 3%, which is what keeps nibs crisp rather than leathery. Roast level is adjustable on request, so tell us whether you want brighter acidity or a deeper toasted note.
Applications and buyers
Bakeries and bar makers use nibs as an unsweetened inclusion for crunch and colour contrast; granola, ice cream, and speciality coffee producers use them the same way. Small chocolate makers buy nibs to grind directly, avoiding the cost of a roaster and winnower. Cold brew and infusion producers use the coarser end of the screen band.
Packing, MOQ and shipping
Packed in 25 kg kraft bags with a food-grade liner, minimum order 1 MT, shipped FOB, CFR, or CIF within 2–3 weeks of confirmation. Nibs pick up moisture and odours quickly, so keep them sealed, cool, and away from aromatic stock. Every shipment carries a certificate of analysis and Halal documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Ordering, samples, shipping, and payment, answered by our export desk.
What is your minimum order quantity?
For fermented grades the minimum is one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). For unfermented Sulawesi and Java beans we can arrange partial loads from 5 MT, and LCL trial lots are available for qualified first-time buyers, subject to consolidation schedules.
Do you provide samples before ordering?
Yes. We courier 500 g – 2 kg samples of current lots, including cut-test photos and moisture readings. Sample costs are credited against your first order.
Which ports and incoterms do you work with?
We ship from Makassar and Surabaya under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms to most major ports. Every shipment includes phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, certificate of origin, and full loading documentation.
What payment terms do you accept?
Standard terms are 30% advance with order confirmation and 70% against copy of bill of lading. Irrevocable LC at sight is accepted for established buyers and larger contracts.
Which certifications can you supply?
Selected lots carry Rainforest Alliance, Organic, Fairtrade, and Halal (BPJPH) certification. Our Makassar processing and export warehousing facility operates under ISO 22000 and HACCP. Certification availability is listed on each product page.
Can you provide third-party inspection and laboratory COAs?
Yes. We can arrange SGS or equivalent pre-shipment inspection at the loading port, and ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory certificates covering moisture, bean count, cut-test appearance, and microbiology on request. Inspection costs are quoted separately and agreed before booking.
Can you run a custom fermentation programme?
Yes, for wholesale buyers. We box-ferment against a written protocol (day count, turning schedule, target cut-test, drying moisture) booked on a named cooperative harvest, starting at one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). Trial containers are available before a season contract. This is a container programme, not single-bag or micro-lot supply.
Do you offer OEM or private-label packing?
Yes. On recurring wholesale contracts we stencil buyer marks, print custom lot codes, and issue packing lists to your bag-mark requirements while keeping our legal entity on the commercial invoice unless otherwise agreed. Minimums stay at our standard wholesale floors. Send artwork and language requirements with your quote request; programme details are on the services page.
