Quality Assurance & Food Safety

State-of-the-art laboratory

Quality Is Key

Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to thoroughly analyse every type of coffee – from low-grade robustas to the highest grade Specialty microlot. Each sample that passes through the lab is meticulously graded and tested to ensure that the coffee is within the contracted specification. As a hub for NKG’s operations in Asia, the team works with NKG Quality Service in Switzerland to ensure that every team member is updated with the latest knowledge and information on origin specifications, food safety protocols, and HACCP requirements and producing and consuming markets.

Origin Days

Every month, we hold a session with our partners to showcase the origin in season. We use this platform to gather data and insight into the minds of coffee roasters. This is when roasters and us can geek out and share ideas on improving coffee.


Curated Cupping

This cupping programme is created to match the specific requirements for roasters. If you have a new product that needs a particular set of requirements such as cup profile, grade type or any other parameters, this is the first step in choosing the right coffee and type.


Coffee Analysis

This is the daily work of the quality team. We ensure that the samples are to be within a contracted specification, be it on the basis of SCA protocol, origin body or client-specific special specification. We work very closely with the related parties to maintain a high standard of conduct.
