About

Pull Request Coffee was born at the intersection of two passions: exquisite specialty coffee and software-driven precision. Frustrated by opaque supply chains and one-size-fits-all certifications, we set out to build a different kind of import business—one grounded in direct relationships, end-to-end traceability and a relentless focus on quality. Every green bean we bring in travels under our watchful eye, with GPS-tagged origin data, independent cupping results and in-market freshness checks, all visible to our roaster partners.

Our Principles

  • Direct, Ethical Trade
    We work one-on-one with farmers in Honduras, Guatemala, Thailand and beyond, paying premiums that flow directly to producers rather than middlemen.
  • Radical Transparency
    From farm GPS coordinates to shipping manifests and lab reports, our cloud-native tracking platform makes every data point available to roasters.
  • Sustainability & Stewardship
    We support regenerative farming practices, pay extra for shade-grown lots and offset the carbon footprint of every shipment.
  • Roaster-First Service
    Pilot-sized micro-lots (starting at 300 kg), flexible Net-30 terms and detailed brew guides let small and mid-sized roasters innovate without risk.
