I've been ordering from Hacea for the past 2 to 3 years, so I feel like I can give a pretty honest review.
So far, they are my favorite vendor for green coffee. They have a great selection, with new arrivals showing up all the time, and their prices are excellent, even with all the recent tariffs. They also offer substantial discounts when ordering 2 KG bags (And especially the 20KG/44lbs bags).
I've never been disappointed with the quality. In fact, their coffees seem to have fewer outliers and defective beans in any given batch than what I've experienced from other vendors. That's not meant as a scientific statement but just my personal observation in the past few years, ordering from about 5 other vendors that cater to home roasters.
I also really appreciate their flavor descriptions. They're not overly abstract or filled with tasting notes that leave me wondering what I'm supposed to be looking for. Most of the time, I actually agree with them. I just need to get my hands on a starfruit one of these days to confirm whether that's really in there.
Every coffee includes detailed information about altitude, growing region, processing, and other factors that help me make an informed decision. They even include harvest and arrival dates. Some other vendors actually hide that info.
And if responsive, friendly customer service is important to you, that's another area where Hacea really shines. I've experienced it first hand when I messed up an order.
I'll keep coming back. That probably says more than anything else. read more
