Who we are
Who we are
LBF Group Italia Srl is an Italian company specializing in the research, selection, import, and distribution of raw coffee. A spirit of adventure, a sense of freedom, and a desire to discover new cultures, traditions, and coffees from the most remote countries on the planet have always guided the LBF family. Since its foundation, we have been committed to bringing an extraordinary coffee experience to every customer, carefully selecting the finest beans and offering a wide range of dedicated services.
LBF - Responsibility
One of LBF's strengths lies in coffee sourcing. We collaborate with a wide network of producers, built on long-standing relationships that evolve over time. Our love for coffee has been with us for generations. Our many years of experience have enabled us to develop direct relationships with producers, ensuring a supply chain that is high-quality, sustainable, and ethical. We are committed to supporting farmers and their communities, promoting responsible and quality-driven production.
Our Coffees - Quality, Research, and Selection
In the vast world of coffee, the pursuit of quality is an exciting journey. Each green coffee bean is a tiny treasure, hiding a myriad of aromas and flavors, ready to be discovered and appreciated by coffee lovers worldwide. It is this quest that shapes our roots, guiding us toward the goal of offering high-quality green coffee.
Our adventure begins in far-off places, in remote plantations located in regions renowned for coffee cultivation. We travel across exotic lands and meet farmers who dedicate their lives to nurturing coffee plants. We work closely with them, learning the secrets of both ancient and modern farming techniques passed down through generations.
The selection of beans is an art that requires expertise, experience, and a keen eye for detail. Our tasters rigorously test every single lot of coffee, evaluating its sensory and organoleptic characteristics. The aromatic notes, acidity, body, and sweetness are carefully analyzed to ensure superior quality. Only the lots that meet our strict standards are chosen to continue their journey to our company.
Logistics - Quality, Efficiency, and Safety
We understand how crucial controlled infrastructure, service efficiency, and safety are to ensure the quality of our products. The quality of our coffee is an absolute priority, which is why our warehouses are specially designed and equipped with advanced systems to maintain optimal storage conditions. Humidity and temperature are carefully monitored to preserve the freshness and organoleptic characteristics of each lot throughout its storage period.
We know that timeliness is key. Our logistics structure is organized to guarantee an efficient and swift flow of goods. We use computerized systems and standardized procedures to ensure that every logistical step is executed accurately and promptly.
Fast and precise delivery to our customers is essential. We collaborate with reliable logistics partners and utilize advanced technologies to track and monitor shipments, providing complete visibility of the green coffee's journey, from our warehouse to its final destination.
