Three reasons for Artacoana
Sourced directly
We buy straight from the growing region. The supply chain is short, and for every batch we can say where it came from.
Bulk quantities
From single kilograms for product development to recurring deliveries for ongoing production.
Carefully selected
Every batch is checked and sampled before dispatch. You see and smell what you are ordering before you commit. If a batch is wrong for your application, we will tell you so.
