Kintamani coffee export MOQ starts at a single 60 kg GrainPro-lined jute bag for boutique roasters, scaling to part-container pallets (~500 kg+) and a full 20-ft container (~18,000–19,200 kg). Samples of 1–5 kg ship first for cupping. Microlots are capped by smallholder harvest volume.
Kintamani Arabica is grown in the Kintamani Highlands of Bangli Regency, north-east Bali and moves as green (unroasted) beans from Bali or Surabaya ports to EU and US destinations. The right minimum order depends on whether you are trialing a single lot, buying a seasonal microlot, or filling a container. All figures below are indicative as of 2026 and subject to change; every quotation confirms on grade, cupping score, lot and MOQ.
What is the minimum order for a specialty roaster?
For a boutique roaster, the practical floor is one 60 kg jute bag with a GrainPro liner. That is enough to run a single-origin release without over-committing cash or green-storage space. Before any bag ships, we send a 1–5 kg cupping sample so your Q-graders can score the lot themselves.
Larger roasters usually skip straight to part-container pallets or a full 20-ft container, where per-kilo pricing tightens within the same FOB band. Because Kintamani specialty lots are produced by smallholders around villages like Ulian (Desa Ulian) and Catur, microlot ceilings are set by the harvest, not by us — a distinctive natural or honey lot may only exist in a few hundred kilos.
How do MOQ tiers and prices compare?
The table pairs each order size with typical packing and the canonical 2026 indicative FOB band. Washed Grade 1 specialty (screen 16+, SCA roughly 82–84) runs USD 8–11/kg; microlot and natural lots (SCA 84–87+) run USD 10–15+/kg; commodity-grade sits near USD 3.5–6/kg. Prices move with harvest, quality and cup score.
| Tier | Typical volume | Packing | Indicative FOB (2026) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cupping sample | 1–5 kg per lot | Vacuum / GrainPro pouch, courier | Sample + courier cost | Pre-purchase evaluation |
| Trial lot | 1–5 × 60 kg bags (60–300 kg) | GrainPro liner in jute | Washed G1 USD 8–11/kg | New boutique roasters |
| Microlot | ~120–600 kg (harvest-capped) | GrainPro in jute, lot-sealed | Natural/microlot USD 10–15+/kg | Seasonal single-origin releases |
| Part-container (LCL) | ~500–5,000 kg palletized | GrainPro in jute on pallets | USD 8–11/kg washed band | Growing multi-lot roasters |
| Full container (FCL 20-ft) | ~18,000–19,200 kg (≈300–320 × 60 kg bags) | GrainPro in 60 kg jute | Volume-negotiated within band | Established importers |
Every tier ships the same core specification for specialty suitability: Grade 1, screen size 15–19 with a high proportion retained on screen 17–18, moisture max 13%, and defect value max 11. Cup profile is typically bright citrus. Cupping scores and grades come only from a lot’s cupping report or COA — we never attach a score to a farm or cooperative name as fact.
Why are Kintamani microlot MOQs capped by harvest?
Kintamani is a capital of Bali’s specialty coffee, and its most interesting lots are produced by individual smallholders and Subak Abian groups. The main harvest runs May–October per export factsheets, so a given natural or honey microlot is a finite quantity that year. If you want a specific lot, book early and pre-reserve against the harvest window rather than assuming it can be topped up later.
This is why we recommend sampling in the first half of the season and confirming your microlot volume before it sells through. For blends and program coffees, washed Grade 1 gives you far more depth and repeatable availability across the season.
How does packing (GrainPro vs jute) affect your MOQ?
Green coffee ships in GrainPro liners inside jute bags — the GrainPro protects moisture and cup quality in transit, the jute gives the handling strength for ocean freight. Bag weights are typically 60 kg, which is why order math tends to land on multiples of 60. A full 20-ft container holds roughly 300–320 of these bags.
Smaller trial and microlot volumes can also be lot-sealed in GrainPro for LCL (part-container) consolidation on pallets. Documentation for any tier typically includes a certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice, packing list, and the HS code for green coffee. Logistics are arranged via vetted licensed partners.
How does booking a Kintamani coffee lot work?
- Tell us your target volume, process and cup profile. Washed, natural, honey or semi-washed — plus your MOQ range, from one bag to a container.
- Receive a matched offer list and cupping samples (1–5 kg). You cup and score the lots yourself.
- Confirm grade, score, lot and MOQ, then lock the FOB price within the 2026 band above.
- Contract and prepare packing and paperwork. GrainPro/jute packing plus EUDR-ready traceability and export documents. Coffee is in-scope of the EU Deforestation Regulation, so we help you assemble plot geolocation and due-diligence records — we do not sell certainty on customs or EUDR outcomes.
- Pre-book the container around the May–October harvest and ship from Bali or Surabaya to your EU or US port.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the smallest Kintamani coffee order a roaster can place?
The practical export minimum is one 60 kg jute bag with a GrainPro liner, ideal for a boutique single-origin release. Before that ships, we send a 1–5 kg cupping sample so you can score the lot. Smaller trial volumes can also be consolidated as part-container (LCL) freight on pallets.
How many kilos fit in a full container of Kintamani green coffee?
A standard 20-ft container holds roughly 18,000–19,200 kg of green coffee — about 300 to 320 jute bags of 60 kg, each with a GrainPro liner. Per-kilo pricing tightens at full-container volume within the 2026 FOB band, negotiated on the confirmed grade, cupping score and lot.
Can I order a Kintamani microlot below one full bag?
For evaluation, yes — we ship 1–5 kg cupping samples per lot. For an actual export order, microlots are sold in whole GrainPro-in-jute bags, typically from around 120–600 kg depending on that season’s smallholder production. Because harvest runs May–October, confirm your microlot volume early before the lot sells through.
Do MOQ prices include EUDR traceability documentation?
Indicative FOB prices (USD 8–11/kg washed Grade 1; USD 10–15+/kg microlot/natural, as of 2026) cover the green coffee, GrainPro/jute packing and standard export documents. We help assemble EUDR-ready plot geolocation and due-diligence records with your lot, but we never sell certainty on customs clearance or EUDR outcomes. Confirm scope on your quotation.
