Official Website Consumer Guidelines
For Retail Customers
Seven-day appreciation period description
According to the Consumer Protection Act, online consumers have the right to a 7-day appreciation period (including holidays) starting from the day after the goods arrive.
Appreciation period, not trial period: Coffee beans are classified as food. To maintain food hygiene and safety, once the outer packaging is opened, returns and exchanges cannot be processed. Returned goods must be brand new, unopened, unused, and in their original packaging. Returns after the 7-day appreciation period will not be accepted.
Exchange conditions
If you find any of the following conditions after receiving the product, please take photos as evidence within 24 hours of receiving the product and immediately contact customer service via email or LINE@. Customer service staff will assist you with expedite the exchange process:
- The outer packaging of the goods was severely damaged during the delivery process.
- The product itself has obvious defects or abnormal quality.
- The received goods do not match the order details.
Exchange process
Our company will entrust a partner logistics company (such as Black Cat Delivery or Hsinchu Freight) to handle the exchange of goods.
Logistics services do not include delivery to specific times and floors. When exchanging goods, customers are requested to cooperate by going to the designated location to complete the exchange.
Return and exchange instructions
Gifts must be returned: Returned items must be in brand new and undamaged condition. If the order includes gifts, they must also be returned. Failure to return gifts will affect your return rights.
Handling Defects/Shortages: If the product has quality defects, is damaged or is short, please contact us within 3 days of arrival with photos to facilitate replacement.
International Shipping Restrictions: Returns and exchanges are not available for overseas/international deliveries. Overseas consumers bear the risks associated with international shipping; please be aware of this before placing your order.
Shipping cost principle: Return shipping costs are borne by the buyer; however, if the return shipping cost is due to an error in the shipment or a major defect, the shipping cost will be borne by the company.
Proof of receipt: When requesting a return or exchange of goods, please ask the logistics personnel for the waybill and keep it safe for future inquiries.

Intake and Exterior Description
All products are properly stored in vacuum bags or coffee-specific bags before shipment (please refer to the price list for specifications). If the vacuum seal fails due to impact during transportation, it will not affect the quality of the green or roasted coffee beans, and returns or exchanges will not be accepted for this reason. If damage occurs during transportation, please take photos immediately and contact customer service; we will handle it for you as soon as possible.
Defective goods must be handled within a specified period.
Upon receiving the goods, please be sure to check the quantity and any identifiable defects on the spot. If there is any damage or other abnormalities, please take photos immediately and contact customer service; for any other reason for return or exchange, please make a request within 2 weeks of receiving the goods, otherwise we will not be able to process it.
Numerical data are for reference only.
All data on green beans provided in this report (such as moisture content and density) may have slight errors due to differences in testing instruments, sampling time, and testing environment.

Quotation timeliness and inventory
Coffee bean inventory and market conditions fluctuate greatly; all commercial offers are valid for 7 days from the date of issuance.

[7-Day Appreciation Period]
- According to the Consumer Protection Act, online retail consumers are entitled to a 7-day appreciation period (including weekends and public holidays) starting the day after delivery.

- To be eligible for a return/refund, items must be in brand-new, unopened, unused condition, and in their original, complete packaging. Requests exceeding the 7-day window will not be accepted.
