LIX Roastery is a roasting facility built to develop coffee for the international B2B market. Its system connects green coffee selection, origin and quality evaluation, roast development, production, quality control, packaging, traceability, and distribution readiness.

LIX Roastery and XLIII Coffee are part of the same ecosystem. LIX Roastery builds on experience in green coffee evaluation, Origin relationships, product development, and quality control, while developing a distinct focus on international B2B markets.

LIX Roastery starts with the coffee itself. Origin, physical quality, sensory profile, processing, crop information, traceability, and supply continuity all inform how a product is developed.

It reflects two sides of every coffee product: where the coffee comes from, and the work, decisions, and systems that carry its value through the supply chain.

Vietnam is an important sourcing focus for LIX Roastery, but the system is not limited to one country, region, variety, or processing method. Each coffee is considered on its actual quality, origin clarity, traceability, supply continuity, and product potential.

LIX Roastery works with importers, distributors, retailers, and other international B2B partners looking for roasted coffee with clear origin information, controlled quality, and traceability across production.

LIX considers the actual quality of each lot, its origin, traceability, supply continuity, and product potential. Variety, region, and processing method are read as part of the wider context rather than used as stand-alone selection criteria.

Evaluation includes physical data such as moisture, density, size, and defects, together with sensory assessment through cupping. Producer, region, variety, process, crop, and lot information also help build a fuller understanding of the material.

No. LIX Roastery does not define quality through one variety, processing method, or producing region. Each lot is assessed on its own qualities and its potential for product development.

Traceability helps preserve the identity and history of a coffee as it moves through the supply chain. Depending on the source and available records, this may include producer, farm, region, variety, process, crop, and lot information.

Where conditions allow, LIX Roastery aims to build relationships close to producers. We also work with cooperatives, exporters, and green coffee partners who can provide clear information and meet requirements for quality, traceability, and supply continuity.

No. Direct Trade has no single universal definition across the coffee industry. LIX Roastery focuses instead on the substance of the relationship: transparency, traceability, responsibility, and continuity.

All LIX Roastery commercial coffees are developed through the Extremely Light roasting philosophy. Profiles change with the material, but the principle remains the same: use heat to reveal what is already present in the coffee rather than overwrite it with roast character.

No. Roast degree and development quality are different concepts. An Extremely Light profile still requires adequate development and is validated through process data, roast color, and sensory evaluation.

The process moves from green coffee evaluation to sample roasting, profile development, cupping, adjustment, and production roasting. Profiles are built from the coffee’s actual response and sensory results rather than a fixed recipe.

Each batch is monitored through process data, reference profiles, roast color, sensory checks, and Roast Batch identification. The aim is controlled consistency while allowing appropriate adjustment when the material or operating conditions change.

Depending on the stage, quality control may include roast-color measurement, optical sorting, destoning, magnetic separation, and cupping. Each tool addresses a different type of risk and works as part of a layered QC system.

The traceability system is designed to connect roast data with Green Lot information, roast date, QC records, Packaging Lot, and shipment information where applicable.

LIX Roastery works across two sides of the value chain: Origin Partners such as farmers, producers, cooperatives, exporters, and green coffee partners; and Destination Partners including importers, distributors, retailers, and international B2B businesses.

LIX Roastery is not positioned as a contract-roasting or made-to-order private-label service. The focus is on developing LIX Roastery products through its own sourcing framework, roasting philosophy, quality standards, and product direction.

Partners can submit an enquiry through the Contact page. Information about the business, market, expected requirements, and volume helps the LIX team identify the most relevant next step.

Yes. Depending on the product and available source data, records may include Origin, Green Lot, producer, variety, process, crop, Roast Batch, roast date, Packaging Lot, and shipment information.

Packaging is designed to protect roasted coffee through storage and transport. One-way valves and Nitrogen Flushing can help reduce oxygen exposure after packing, while material design is considered alongside food safety, logistics, and end-of-life requirements.

Yes. LIX Roastery is being developed for international B2B, so traceability, packaging, QC, lot documentation, and export preparation are built into the product-development system. Specific requirements depend on the destination market and partner.

LIX Roastery looks for partners who take quality, origin, product information, transparency, and continuity seriously. Strong partnerships help preserve both product quality and the information behind it as coffee moves through the value chain.
