When it is picked,
and when it

Indonesia has no single harvest. Sumatra runs against the eastern islands, which is the whole argument for buying more than one origin from one exporter: there is fresh crop somewhere for ten months of the year.

Four ports, one transshipment
Nothing sails direct from Indonesia to a roasting country. Everything goes through Singapore or Tanjung Pelepas, which adds three days and one more set of hands. Transit times below are door of the port to door of the port, and they are honest averages rather than a carrier's best case.
