Be Our Cafe Partner
Most wholesale coffee feels like a transaction. You pick from a catalogue, they ship you the same beans everyone else is running, and that's that.
We do it differently.
NLCR sources from regions most roasters aren't paying attention to — areas with unrealised potential, producers who deserve more than commodity pricing, and cup profiles that hold their own against anything coming out of the well-trodden origins. We roast small-batch in George Town, and we work with café partners who care about what's in the cup.
What you get as a cafe partner
Access to specialty-grade coffee at a price point that makes sense for your margin — including single origins and espresso blends not available to the general public.
For orders above 30kg, we'll craft a custom blend built around your menu, your machines, and your customers. Not off-the-shelf. Yours.
Priority access to our curated industry events — cuppings, producer visits, and competitions. We've hosted the Northern Malaysia AeroPress Championship three years running (2023, 2024, 2025). Partners get first access.
On-site calibration for cafés in Penang. Our team comes to you, dials in your espresso, and makes sure the coffee tastes the way it should on your specific setup.
