Open Lot
Unlocking India’s Coffee Secrets
Boutique imports of high quality and unique Indian coffee lots
About
We are a small, independent coffee importer based in the Netherlands. We specialise in sourcing rare, high‑quality coffees from India and bringing them to European roasters in a way that is simple, transparent, and fair.
We spend our time between farms in India and roasters in Europe, listening, learning, and building relationships. Our goal is to make importing Indian coffee feel less like a risk and more like an exciting, trustworthy part of your offering

What We Do
We focus on one thing and do it well: Indian specialty coffee lots that are high quality, experimental, traceable, and ready for your roastery.
Direct Farm Relationships
We work closely with producers and small estates, visiting farms and understanding their terrior and post harvest process of the coffee. That means better selection, better quality control, and real stories behind each lot.
Traceable & Story‑Ready
For every coffee, we share farm information, processing details, cupping notes and photos, so you can easily communicate origin and value to your customers. We source 100% fully traceable specialty coffee from reliable farmers in India, who are environmentally friendly and practice sustainable farming methods.
Best of Indian lots
Our farms primarily in South India, produce 85+ scoring coffees. We can help you source high quality Robusta or Arabiacas to meet your needs and experimental micro/nano‑lots so you can truly feature them.
Simple EU Logistics
We handle the complexity: import, compliance and storage; so you receive coffee from our base in the Netherlands, with clear landed pricing and realistic timelines.
What We Stand For
The values behind Open Lot are built on trust, transparency, approachability, and a proud commitment to representing Indian coffee with integrity.
Trust Over Transactions
We believe strong businesses are built on long-term relationships, not one-off deals. Every coffee lot, price, and commitment should be clear, honest, and reliable from the start.
Radical Transparency
We share the details that matter: farm, varietal, process, harvest, quality, and value chain. This helps roasters tell a real story and helps farmers see how their coffee is represented.
We want working with Open Lot to feel simple, human, and easy. Whether you’re a small roaster or an established buyer, we keep communication direct, flexible, and straightforward.
Open and Approachable
Proudly Representing India
We are here to show the depth, diversity, and quality of Indian coffee. Our mission is to bring attention to rare lots, unique varietals, and the people behind them in a way that creates respect and opportunity.
Our farms in India
Our Indian coffees come from farms shaped by altitude, shade, soil, and climate; the factors that give each lot its distinct cup profile. We source with intention, so you receive coffees with both distinctive character and traceability.
Our farms offer more than origin, they offer identity!
