CHICHESTER, UK – Marco Polo Intercontinental Limited, a leader in premium food and beverage trading since 2012, announces the launch of Marco Polo Premium Coffee Beans —a “bold new venture set to make waves in the coffee industry”

With a heritage in coffee cultivation dating back to 1994, Marco Polo is bringing the finest Mexican Arabica beans to roasters and distributors worldwide, signalling its arrival as a major player in the coffee game.

At the heart of this launch is a newly established partnership with a leading coffee farm in Chiapas, Mexico, formalised in April 2025.

Sourced from Mexico’s premier coffee-growing regions—Chiapas, Veracruz, and Puebla—at elevations of 600–1,200 metres, these speciality-grade Arabica beans deliver complex flavours, from bright citrus and chocolate to fruity and nutty notes.

With cup scores ranging from 73 to 84, the beans are hand-harvested, processed within 8 hours for peak freshness, and certified by 4C, UTZ, Rainforest Alliance, Halal, and Kosher, ensuring sustainability and ethical sourcing.

“Marco Polo has arrived, and we’re here to redefine what premium coffee means for roasters and distributors,” said Rhys Aldous, Director of Global Sales at Marco Polo Premium Coffee Beans.

“Our partnership with Mexican coffee farms is the beginning. We’re committed to delivering exceptional quality whilst supporting farmers and sustainable practices. These beans are a testament to Mexico’s rich coffee heritage, and we can’t wait to see them in the hands of coffee professionals worldwide.”
