About Us
TYPICA is an online platform with a mission to create a sustainable specialty coffee industry. Due to climate change and unstable pricing, many small to medium-sized coffee producers opt to leave the industry. We want to give those producers a chance to be heard and strengthen the producer and roaster’s relationship, which can help to motivate and encourage the continuous production of delicious high-quality coffee.
We allow producers to set their own prices and we disclose all pricing to ensure transparency. We focus on all roasters, big or small, by making it possible to trade from 1 bag(60kg) onwards instead of pallets or containers.
We focus on high-quality coffee and keep a close eye to guarantee that the quality is there and stays there. We connect, communicate, cup, asses, support, and make sure that everything that enters the tables is up to our, our partner producers and our roaster community standards.
Our service originally started in Japan, but from October 2021, we’ve expanded our services to South Korea, Taiwan, UK, and Europe. Our HQ in Europe is in Amsterdam and we are looking to expand our Team.
