Our origins.
We source from farms and cooperatives across Colombia, building direct relationships with producers who share our commitment to quality and transparency. Some relationships are fully direct — farm to export. Others go through trusted cooperative exporters. We are honest about both.
Direct — farm relationship
We buy directly from the producer. Price is negotiated with the farmer. Our Colombian entity, Invariasbernal, handles all milling and export logistics.
Direct — cooperative / exporter
We source through a trusted Colombian cooperative or licensed exporter. The producer relationship exists — we know who grew the coffee — but the cooperative handles milling and export paperwork.
Sourced — third-party exporter
Bought through a Colombian exporter we trust. Origin is fully traceable. We use this channel selectively for specialty lots or regions where we don't yet have a direct producer relationship.
Our anchor region
The Caldas department sits in Colombia's coffee axis — the Eje Cafetero — at altitudes between 1,400 and 2,000 metres. Volcanic soil, humid climate, and slow cherry ripening produce dense, flavourful beans with good acidity and clean finish. It's where we started and where most of our volume comes from.
Expanding beyond Caldas
We are building relationships with producers in other Colombian departments — Huila, Nariño, and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — as well as evaluating origins in other producing countries. New relationships are added to this page as they are confirmed and the first shipment is completed.
If you are a roaster looking for a specific origin or process style we don't currently list, get in touch. We can often source specific lots through our Colombian network.
