Ground Up is

Spec-Driven. Supply Chain-Ready.

We work with buyers who require sensory consistency, supply continuity, and documentation transparency - delivering application-appropriate ingredients that meet the mark on technical specifications, sensory profiles, and economic targets.
Global Sourcing
Multi-Origin Supply at Scale
Bulk soluble supply with multi-origin redundancy and full certification documentation. Consistent specifications across container loads - with the sourcing infrastructure to maintain them when single-origin supply fluctuates.
Global Sourcing supports reliable redundancy for you formulations
Technical Specification and Sensory profile matching
Organic, RFA, and Fairtrade certification support and compliance
Full documentation delivery
Sensory Matching
Matched Product. Bulk Formats.
Application appropriate ingredients that integrate with your production infrastructure. We focus on your technical capabilities - format, moisture range, particle size, and packaging requirements.
25kg and 30kg cartons for solids
275-gallon totes 55-gallon drums, and 5-gallon pails for liquids
Domestic inventory to expedite your production
Spec sheets provided for production validation
Application Guidance
Pairing The Right Ingredients
Technical application support across beverage, food, and functional categories. We bring solubility data, flavor profiles, and samples - not just a product list. Development and scale-up support available.
Samples with complete specifications
Application guidance for complex matrices
Process options: decaf, aroma recovery, cold extraction, micro-grind
Moisture sensitivity data available on request
Product Development
Custom Development to Spec
Custom-developed soluble coffee and tea ingredients built to your required outcome. From premixes, to functional solutions, to high-brix concentrates, we develop to spec and support through R&D and scale-up.
Low-MOQ sampling for development stages
Customizable brix levels for liquid concentrates (4Bx to 33Bx)
Functional ingredient integration available
R&D support included

Bulk Formats Built for Your Operation

Packaged to integrate directly with your production infrastructure - whether you're running a pilot batch or a full scale production.

25kg & 30kg Cartons

Corrugated cartons with dual poly bag liners preserving freshness for up to 36 months.
For: Instant coffee, instant tea, and dry blended ingredients
Formats: 25kg and 30kg corrugated cartons
Liner: Dual poly bag for moisture protection

5-Gallon Pails

Small-batch liquid filling for pilot programs and development-stage production. Ideal for formula validation before committing to full commercial volumes.
For: Liquid coffee concentrates and cold brew extracts
Formats: 5-gallon pails
Best for: R&D, sampling, and low-volume production runs

275-Gallon Totes

Commercial-scale liquid filling for high-volume production programs. Spacekraft totes deliver the volume efficiency your line requires with the fill integrity your QA team expects.
For: Liquid coffee concentrates at commercial scale
Formats: 275-gallon Spacekraft totes
Best for: Full-scale production and ongoing supply programs

Solutions Built for Your Business

Whether you're sourcing bulk ingredients for reformulation, scaling a functional product line, or managing a high-throughput co-pack operation, we deliver the technical capabilities, documentation, and supply continuity your program requires.

Built for Ingredient Manufacturers

Consistent bulk supply across origins, formats, and certifications. We deliver the documentation, specification continuity, and multi-origin redundancy that industrial procurement requires - at container load scale.
Multi-origin redundancy
Sourcing across world reduces single-origin, single-manufacturer risk and maintains supply continuity when conditions shift. Your formulations stay on spec regardless of where the disruption hits.
Full documentation delivery
COAs, traceability records, and certification documentation provided as standard - so your QA team has what it needs without chasing it down the supply chain.
Certification support
Organic, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Kosher, Halal, and EUDR compliance managed and documented from origin. We handle the certification infrastructure so your procurement team doesn't have to build it.
Specification consistency
Tight spec windows maintained across container loads, with the sourcing depth to hold them at volume. If conditions at origin shift, we've already helped you qualify alternatives before they become a problem.

Built for Formulators & Flavorists

We match ingredients to your brief - not the other way around. Technical application support, complete sensory data, and low-MOQ sampling from early development through full-scale production.
Spec-first development
Sensory targets, processing requirements, and application parameters drive the brief. We work backward from your required outcome - not forward from our existing product range.
Complete technical data
Solubility profiles, moisture sensitivity data, particle size, and flavor documentation provided with every sample. The information your team needs to evaluate fit before committing volume.
Application range
Process options including decaf, aroma recovery, cold extraction, micro-grind, and freeze concentration - across beverage, food, and functional matrices. Development support available for complex applications.
Low-MOQ sampling
Development-stage quantities with full specifications, supporting rapid iteration without over-committing volume. We scale with you from bench to full production.

Built for Co-Packers

Application-appropriate ingredients in bulk formats that integrate with your production infrastructure. We match format to your line requirements and hold domestic inventory so your supply chain stays responsive.
Production-ready formats
25kg and 30kg cartons for solids; 5-gallon pails and 275-gallon totes for liquids — sized for your production line, not our warehouse convenience.
Spec sheet delivery
Complete production documentation for every SKU. Your QA team can validate without delay, and your production team runs without interruption.
Domestic inventory
Pre-positioned US stock reduces lead times and supports demand flexibility without requiring you to carry the excess inventory risk yourself.
Matched specifications
Tight spec windows maintained across container loads, with the sourcing depth to hold them at volume. If conditions at origin shift, we qualify alternatives before they become your problem.
