From coffee bean
to a verifiable story
We connect data from origin, community, collection, and processing so every product has a story that can be traced back.
The data that travels with the coffee
Hillkoff's public system discloses data at a level that helps readers understand the source, while prioritising the privacy of farmers and communities.
- 01
Origin and farmers
Starts with origin data approved for publication, along with community and origin-area context.
- 02
Community and standards
Connects village, station, watershed group, and GAP or Organic certification based on verified data.
- 03
Collection and selection
Tracks the collection, selection, and purchasing path at lot level, without disclosing personal data.
- 04
Processing and product
Links lot data to the processing steps and the product a consumer can verify via QR code.
It starts with the QR code on the coffee bag
Scanning an approved QR code opens that lot's traceability page directly, with origin data that has been screened and published within its authorised scope.
Transparent about what we disclose, and respectful of personal data
The traceability page shows approved area-level and lot-level summary data. It does not show phone numbers, personal documents, individual yields, or plot coordinates that could identify a person.
