AFA Coffee Directorate buyer's licence
Roasted consignments to Europe and the United States
Arabica AA, AB, PB, C · Robusta Screen 12, 16, 18
Whole bean, ground, unroasted · 100 g to 50 kg
We buy at the exchange, mill, grade and roast under one roof in Nairobi, so lead times hold and the cup repeats from one batch to the next.
Two ways to buy from Piko
Wholesale and export
Roasted or ground to your profile, packed to suit the shipment. We hold the buyer’s licence, so buying, value addition and export paperwork stay with one company. Consignments have gone to the USA and Russia.

The range
Prices depend on grade, volume and destination. Tell us what you need and we send a quote with samples.

Arabica, roasted
Highland-grown washed Arabica, roasted to profile. Bright, clean, the cup Kenya is known for.

Robusta, roasted
Heavier body and higher yield for blends, instant production and espresso bases.

Ground to order
Filter, espresso, French press or Turkish grind, packed in valve bags the day it is ground.
Bags labelled to your own brand, and unroasted beans in 50 kg bags for export. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can do.
Two sentences from a real buyer, about this length — usually on cup consistency from one shipment to the next, or on lead times holding when Piko said they would.
