More About ARC Coffee

The Launch of ARC Coffee in Culemborg
Richenel Held recently introduced ARC Coffee, a new local coffee brand based in Culemborg. The brand combines a passion for roasting coffee with a strong local presence and service. ARC Coffee is not merely an online label, but a visible player with a clear mission. The company aims to bring people together and create a direct, meaningful connection between the coffee drinker and the producer.
Coffee with an Eye for the Future
The brand’s core values are connection, forward-thinking, and passion. The founder aims to translate the care and attention farmers put into cultivation directly into a perfect flavor profile. Consequently, the philosophy of coffee with an eye for the future is central to the entire business operation. ARC Coffee works exclusively with producers who operate with a conscious awareness of both people and nature.
When sourcing green beans, the company applies strict and sustainable criteria. They select farms that are actively committed to agroforestry and reforestation. Additionally, significant attention is given to improving wages, ensuring safe working conditions, and promoting broader sustainable development. In this way, the brand strives to restore balance within the international coffee supply chain.
The Assortment: Specialty Arabica
The company roasts and sells exclusively specialty arabica coffee beans. Each coffee possesses its own surprising flavor profile with a unique backstory and is carefully tailored to various brewing methods. The webshop currently offers four different products, available in 250 gram, 500 gram, and one kilogram packages. The current selection consists of the following coffees:

Drive – Signature Arabica Blend: A blend of washed and unwashed beans from Flores in Indonesia and Paraná in Brazil. This coffee offers clear tasting notes of chocolate, caramel, and nuts.
Origins: Brazil: These beans also come from Paraná via the Capricornio project. This special project brings together several farmers and supports ecological agricultural development.
Origins: Ethiopia: A washed coffee originating from the Sheka Forest Biosphere Reserve. The flavor is primarily characterized by peach, vanilla, and light herbs.
Origins: West Papua: Coming from Abmisibil from a collective of small coffee farmers spread across ten villages. This project is under the direct guidance of Yafeth Wetipo of Highland Roastery.

Business Services and Local Sales
Consumers can order coffee directly and easily via the own webshop. To further strengthen local ties, the company offers free delivery for customers in the immediate area. In addition to the consumer market, the brand focuses strongly on business relationships. They supply fresh specialty coffee to the hospitality sector, such as local cafés and restaurants, and to modern offices with conscious entrepreneurs.
Additionally, the roastery is very active in the events market. ARC Coffee provides high-quality on-site coffee for various parties and corporate gatherings. For indoor events, they utilize a compact, mobile espresso bar, while for festivals and other outdoor activities, the company deploys a fully equipped barista truck.
Positioning and Transparency
ARC Coffee positions itself strongly as a supplier of locally roasted quality coffee with a transparent and fair supply chain. Their corporate communication consistently emphasizes quality, sustainability, and artisanal choices. According to external business directories, the company is located at Kees van Lintstraat 27 in Culemborg. These same directories estimate the team size at two to five people, with a start date in February 2026.
Despite the clear emphasis on a transparent chain, some specific data points are still missing online. For instance, the website does not yet publish a detailed transparency report regarding exact farm-gate prices or total annual production volumes. Furthermore, specific details about the roasting machine used, the software, batch capacity, and the formal profiles of a head roaster or green coffee buyer are currently not publicly available on official channels.
