Mercanta The Coffee Hunters was founded in 1996 by Stephen Hurst,
who was joined in 1997 by Flori Marin, his business partner. Unlike
most coffee importers in Europe, Mercanta The Coffee Hunters was
established uniquely to supply fine coffees to Specialty Coffee roasters.

Specialty Coffee is all about quality, variety, provenance, relationships
with the growers and quite simply knowing your product inside out.
We manage the bean from the tree to the cup.

Mercanta employs some of the world’s best coffee cuppers (tasters).
Coffee is what we do day in day out. Our alliance with the London
School of Coffee allows us to teach and train more people to
appreciate the spectacular variety of tastes and flavours in this
specialist beverage category.

Whether you are a large roaster seeking to source a new product
for a Specialty line or a micro roaster seeking only a few bags of
the finest beans, you can rely on The Coffee Hunters.

Join the growing ranks of our roaster customers in more than 20
countries who enjoy our unique brand of personal and professional
service with guaranteed traceability and quality of coffee.
Take a good look through the site and contact The Coffee Hunters
for your coffee needs. We look forward to hearing from you...
