How Green Coffee is Stored and Sorted: Inside CarmoCoffees’ Warehouse (Day 4)
Our goal wasn’t just to select lots — it was to trace the entire chain from farm to warehouse. We needed to make sure the green coffee we bring to the CIS is properly sorted, controlled, and packed.
How does Carmo’s final quality checkpoint work?
Our last stop was Três Corações — home to CarmoCoffees’ central warehouse. The building itself is impressive: it holds up to 100,000 bags, and through glass walls you can observe the full workflow — sorting, grading, packaging, and dispatch.
On-site, there’s also a small museum, cupping area, and quality lab. We watched lots being assessed, defects removed, and every bag undergoing final inspection. Everything Carmo promises on their website — we saw it firsthand.
Why do we travel to origin ourselves?
Because you can’t sell coffee without understanding where it comes from. We don’t just buy lots — we participate in selection, cup on site, inspect processes, and talk flavor directly with producers. Only after that do we deliver the beans to those who will turn them into great coffee.
That’s how Green Coffee Hub works — your green coffee hub in Tashkent.
We supply green coffee directly across the CIS: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia.
