Roaster notesSample with a purpose.
A sample is most useful when you know the question you want it to answer. Are you replacing a blend component, exploring a single origin, or looking for a coffee that behaves differently in espresso?
Start with a short list and keep clear notes. Record the coffee, process and roast approach, then compare the cup against the role it needs to fill. A familiar coffee can give you a useful reference point. If the first result raises a question, tell us what you noticed and what you want to evaluate next.
Lhute’s current sample program offers 100 grams per coffee and up to three offerings per request. Sample and shipping charges are confirmed individually.
Build your sample selectionGreen coffee selectionChoose for the program, then explore the origin.
A country name is a useful starting point. The next step is to understand what the specific coffee needs to do in your menu.
For a blend, consider the role you want the coffee to play and the quantities you expect to use. For a single-origin offering, consider the experience you want your customers to have and the information you want to share about the lot. Process, cup notes and specifications can help narrow the selection, but a roast trial gives you evidence for your own program.
Use Lhute’s origin and offering pages to build a shortlist, then ask for current lot details. Confirm the producer, preparation, packaging and availability that apply to the coffee you are considering.
Compare the coffee selectionSourcing conversationsA better quote starts with a clearer brief.
A useful sourcing request includes more than a coffee name. Tell us which offerings you want priced, your estimated quantity, delivery destination and target timing.
If you are comparing coffees for the same destination, add them to one quote request. Include any exact quantity, shipment preference or specification question that matters to your purchase. If a coffee is intended for a particular blend or menu, a short note about its role helps keep the conversation focused.
We use that information to discuss current availability, pricing and the arrangements relevant to your order. A submitted request starts the conversation; it is not an order or inventory reservation.
