Unroasted Arabica Coffee Bean — Wholesale Supply for Roasters & Distributors in Malaysia
Scofi is the brand of SOO HUP SENG TRADING CO SDN BHD, supplying premium green Arabica coffee beans to Malaysian roasteries, cafés, hotels, and distributors. This page explains Arabica taste, quality selection, processing, and how to buy from us with confidence.
What Is Arabica Coffee?
Arabica (Coffea arabica) is the leading species in specialty coffee. High-elevation cultivation and careful post-harvest handling produce nuanced aromatics, sweet structure and refined acidity—qualities that make Arabica the backbone of modern filter and premium espresso menus in Malaysia.
Arabica typically contains less caffeine and more sugars/lipids than robusta, translating to smoother mouthfeel and layered flavor clarity. From tea-like Ethiopian florals to Brazilian chocolate-nut to Kenyan berry-wine acidity, Scofi curates a consistent seasonal offer list for your beverage program.
Arabica thrives at ~1,000–2,000 m.a.s.l. We assess moisture (≈10–12%), screen size, defects, and cup score before recommending any lot.
Taste Profile & Key Features
Arabica spans floral/citrus (Ethiopia), berry/wine-like (Kenya/SL), nutty-chocolate (Brazil), and caramel-sweet (Latin America). Roast development shapes the cup: light for aroma & acidity, medium for balance & sweetness.
- Lower bitterness vs robusta; approachable and versatile.
- Aromatic complexity that shines in filter and modern espresso.
- Blend-friendly to hit house profiles for milk beverages.

Why Arabica Dominates Specialty Coffee
Lots scoring ≥80 points (SCA) qualify as “specialty,” prized for clarity, sweetness, and terroir.
Elevation slows maturation, concentrating sugars/aromas for layered cups.
Buyers value traceability, careful processing, and certifications.

Quality, Grading & Cupping
We review lot data (origin, altitude, variety, process), inspect screen size & defect count, verify moisture ~10–12%, and recommend to suit individual customers’ preference.
- International grading standards (AA/SHB/EP)
- Flavor wheel (shared sensory language)
- Defect detection (reduce cup faults)
- Cupping protocol (consistency)
- Moisture control & shelf-life
Lots we recommend are cup-verified by our team/partners. We usually keep retention samples and QC records for repeatability across seasons. If you’re not satisfied, we accept returns and provide refunds under specific T&Cs.
Processing Methods & Flavor Outcomes
Washed pushes clarity, naturals emphasize fruit/body, honey adds syrupy sweetness. Experimental (anaerobic, carbonic maceration) can unlock tropical or wine-like notes prized by competition baristas.
Washed / Wet
Removes mucilage before drying. Produces the most transparent expression of terroir.
Natural / Dry
Dries fruit on the seed. Boosts ripe fruit aromas and body; can show jammy notes.
Honey
Partial mucilage kept on seed during drying. Bridges clarity and fruit with extra sweetness.
Experimental
Anaerobic, carbonic maceration & co-ferments. Intensifies aromatics; needs careful roast.
