Hello - looking for some guidance on supplier approval for green coffee beans.
We do not import beans and only purchase from brokers. In that case, who should be the approved suppler - the importer or the farms themselves?
We also do not roast the beans - they are stored in our facility, sent to a roaster, and sent back to be used as an ingredient. The green beans themselves cannot be used. What kind of information would be needed to approve the green beans considering they are wrapped and separated in our facility and cannot be used until they are roasted?
Thanks in advance!
