Sourcing Right
from the Start
Achieving exceptional flavor requires incredible attention to detail. At Malongo, we stand apart from traditional restaurant coffee suppliers by pouring care into our production process. The result is premium-quality coffee that elevates your guest experience. To date, we’ve partnered with coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants to provide 8,000 tons of coffee from 25 countries.
We begin with the foundation of our rich flavor—our coffee beans. Hand-picked on family farms, our beans are extracted from ripe fruit, undergo wet process separation and are naturally sun-dried to deliver optimal taste. We ensure the integrity of our process by following beans closely from farm to the cup. That includes making sure our organic products are grown without pesticides and healthy for growers, consumers, and the environment.
Malongo began producing organic fair trade coffee in 1992. Since then, we’ve maintained the highest standards for our processes and products. This includes adhering to economic, social and environmental guarantees. Malongo guarantees farmers a minimum price regardless of market conditions. We also respect the democratic governance and autonomy of coffee growers associations.
Producing the Perfect Taste
Delicious coffee takes time to develop. Our beans undergo a 20-minute traditional slow roast method to achieve a medium French roast. The result is a complementary combination of aromas and flavors for blends and single-origin types.
To further enhance quality, we practice small batch processing with no larger than 60 kg jute sacks. This approach leads to greater quality control. Each of our products are then crafted by expert hands with meticulous attention. As premiere restaurant coffee suppliers, Malongo’s finished products provide exquisite taste to impress guests.
