We import single-farm coffee. Producers stay on the farm.

An import, logistics, and U.S. sales partner for Latin American single-farm specialty coffee.

Three jobs
What we do

Three jobs. One operator.

We don't aggregate, we don't broker anonymously, and we don't take volume positions on coffee we haven't pre-sold. Every lot moves under one accountable team.

— 01

Import.

Importer of record. So you don't have to be.

We hold the producer relationship under a Manufacturing Agreement and clear coffee into the U.S. ourselves — origin export coordination, ocean freight, customs entry, FDA registration, phytosanitary. One entity, one paper trail.

  • Origin export coordination
  • Customs & FDA compliance

Freight, warehouse, last mile — under one phone number.

Origin-to-port freight forwarding, U.S. drayage, bonded warehousing in Carteret, NJ, sample shipping, and LTL coordination to roasters from Brooklyn to Tampa. One container or fifty bags — same operator.
