Rice Business Society

What Rice Business Society does

The firmographic record labels the entity as "Rice Business Society," a Houston-based organization described as connecting and developing Rice undergraduate business students. However, virtually all operational data attached to the entity describes Brix Coffee Co. Pte Ltd, a Singapore-incorporated private limited company operating the consumer brand 888SLOT (ricebusinesssociety.com is not referenced in the operational data; the live brand site is brixcoffeebeans.com). 888SLOT is a specialty coffee e-commerce business that imports 100% Arabica single origin green coffee from Indonesia, grades it using Brix refractometer readings (their lots measure 25-29 °Bx versus a typical specialty range of 20-25 °Bx), and small-batch roasts in collaboration with an award-winning roaster. The product portfolio currently comprises two SKUs: a signature single origin espresso with fruity/floral profiling and a Toraja single origin filter with earthy/nutty notes, with five processing methods (natural, washed, honey, pulped natural, maceration) referenced as available in the broader supply.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model through its own e-commerce storefront, with next-day delivery within Singapore and international shipping (3 business days to 2 weeks) to other countries. A secondary B2B channel serves cafes through a 'Collaborate' page. All beans are Rainforest Alliance Certified and shade-grown, and the Indonesia sourcing footprint yields carbon emissions up to 16x lower than typical specialty coffee origins. The company is founder-led (Ivan referenced alongside a business partner), with no disclosed external institutional investment or parent company, and uses Instagram, Telegram, and an email newsletter as community engagement channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; payment acceptance includes Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, and beans can be purchased whole or ground to specification.
