What is the shipment schedule?

On the 15th of every month an automated payment will be made towards the subscription for the next batch of roaster.

Give us and our partner roaster till the end of the month to roast, pack, and prepare shipment for the coffee bean. We try our best to ship packages out two business days after the roasting date.

You will receive an tracking e-mail sometime during the last week of each month.

Expect your coffee to arrive at your doorstep the beginning of the following month. Sit tight, as international shipments vary widely on country from 3 business days to 2 weeks.
