Green Bean Wholesalers

[Pinto]

Can anyone recommend a decent green bean wholesaler that offers a decent selection of Organic, FTO and/or Shade Grown? I'm based out of Pittsburgh PA.

Royal, NY or Olam specialty coffee. They both have warehouses in New Jersey and have huge selections.

Ha, I was half way to NJ this morning to pick up my first bag of PNG beans from Royal. I was trying to beat the storm coming in, and forgot about the 24 hour notice rule. Luckily I called them on the way, and got the bad news. Half a day of my life that I will never get back!

Thank You!

Oh, just out of curiosity... when I was searching for someone closer I found Three Rivers Coffee Importers. Based on their site though I believe they may no longer be in business. They had a twitter account but the last update (tweet) was in 2012. Called the number they had listed several times but get nobody. Just wondering if anyone ever heard of them or dealt with them? It would be convenient to find someone in Pittsburgh.

These are some of the suppliers I use, Cafe Lobo, Royal Coffee NY, Cafe Imports, Serengeti, Optco and Cafe Imports. All depends on what you're looking for but they all have good selections of organic/FTO/etc.

I have dealt with Gillies for 9 years now. Good quality green beans with fast delivery. They offer 25 lb boxes for smaller home roaster or full bags for larger operations.

Thanks for the recommendations so far! I've been ordering from Sweet Maria's almost exclusively just because I know that I like most of what they source.

Anyway.. I'm in the Atlanta area, does anyone know of a good source (like the OP I prefer organic, shade-grown, etc) close to me? I'd rather not keep shipping from California all the time.. Thanks!
