Your guide to Colombia Green Beans

  • What is special about Colombian coffee?

    Colombian green coffee beans are special for several reasons. Known for their bright acidity, smooth body, and rich flavours, Colombian beans bring out a balance that is hard to match. This balance is often accompanied by fruity and floral notes, with hints of chocolate or caramel, making them incredibly versatile for different roast levels and brewing methods.

    Colombia’s unique geography plays a big role here. The country’s high altitudes, frequent rainfall, and mild climate provide ideal conditions for coffee growth. What also makes Colombian coffee unique is the country’s dedication to quality. Nearly all coffee in Colombia is arabica, which is known for its nuanced flavours and complexity, offering a distinct edge for roasters looking to create memorable profiles.

  • Why Does Colombia offer year-round coffee exports?

    Colombia has a unique advantage in coffee production—it’s able to export year-round. This is largely due to its “bimodal” climate, which means different regions experience two harvests each year. The primary harvest, called the “main crop,” occurs from October to December, while a smaller “mitaca” harvest happens between April and June.

    This dual harvest allows Colombian producers to supply fresh coffee throughout the year. Since coffee quality is closely tied to freshness, this is an incredible benefit for roasters worldwide. At Green Coffee Collective, we’re able to receive Colombian beans on a regular basis, ensuring that the coffee we offer is not only high quality but also freshly harvested, giving roasters access to the best flavours whenever they need it.

  • Our relationship with Colombia and its coffee producers

    Our commitment to Colombian coffee goes beyond just sourcing—we value long-term relationships with the producers and communities we work with. Over the years, we’ve established strong connections with Colombian partners who share our dedication to quality and sustainability. These partnerships are built on trust and mutual respect, giving us unique insights into their growing practices and challenges.

    We collaborate closely with farmers and cooperatives, ensuring that each coffee we bring to market reflects Colombia’s rich coffee heritage. This approach allows us to deliver not only exceptional green coffee but also stories of dedication, tradition, and passion that add depth to each cup. By staying connected to the producers, we’re able to support their work in meaningful ways, offering customers a more authentic, traceable coffee experience.

  • How we work with Colombian producers to ensure sustainability and quality improvements

    Sustainability and quality are central to the work of our sourcing partners in Colombia. They collaborate directly with farmers and cooperatives who prioritize ethical practices and environmental stewardship. Through these partnerships, our sourcing partners work alongside producers to address sustainability goals meaningful to their communities, such as soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity preservation.

    Quality improvement is another continuous priority. By sharing knowledge and providing training, our partners support producers in adopting best practices—from selective picking to optimised processing techniques. With access to essential resources, producers are empowered to uphold the high standards that Colombian coffee is known for. This commitment to sustainability and quality not only strengthens the future of coffee farming in Colombia but also ensures that we can offer beans that are as responsibly grown as they are exceptional in flavour.

Your questions, answered

What is the Green Coffee Collective?

We’re a community of coffee producers and sourcing experts, all working together to make green coffee easy to access—whether you’re a hobby roaster at home or a professional roasting hundreds of tonnes a year. Our platform is designed to simplify buying green coffee, just like any other online shopping experience. No fuss, just great coffee at your fingertips.

Do you offer support for direct trade relationships with producers?

Yes, we’re always happy to make introductions! If you’re interested in working directly with one of our producers, just send us an email (hello@greencoffeecollective.com) and we’ll gladly help facilitate the connection. For larger volumes, we can also assist with logistics and any complexities involved in sourcing directly from producers.

Do you offer samples or trial batches before committing to larger orders?

Yes, we offer samples for most of our coffees. If you need a larger sample than what’s typically available, we recommend trying one of the smaller quantity options listed on our site. That way, you can test the coffee before committing to a larger order.

How do you handle logistics and shipping for larger orders?

We’ve got you covered! For larger orders, we offer full logistical support, including freight, warehousing, and inventory management. We’ll make sure the process is as smooth and hassle-free as possible, so you can focus on roasting great coffee. If you’re shipping internationally, we can also assist in ensuring smooth delivery.

What is your process for ensuring consistency between lots or harvests?

We work closely with our sourcing partners to make sure we’re always offering top-quality coffee. Most of the partners you’ll find on our site have years of experience in their regions, and they use that expertise to access the best coffees available each season. Their deep relationships with producers help maintain consistency in both quality and supply.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ) for large-scale or long-term contracts?

For larger-scale or long-term contracts, you can start with as little as a single bag. We’re also working on tools to help you access harvests and reserve coffees before they even leave the country. While it’s not fully ready yet, we’re always here to help roasters of any size connect with the producers they want to work with.

Can I arrange a visit to origin or participate in harvest season visits?

We’re working on coordinating trips in the future! In the meantime, if there’s a specific origin you’d like to visit, just get in touch with us, and we’ll do our best to help arrange something.

How does Green Coffee Collective support my business growth?

Our vision is to make amazing coffee accessible to roasters of all sizes. We provide all the marketing materials and storytelling you need to showcase the origins of our coffees. If there’s anything missing that’s holding you back from making a purchase, just let us know! We’re always looking for ways to improve and make our products and information even more transparent. Many roasters have successfully scaled their offerings with our support, and we’re here to help you do the same.

What’s your pricing structure, and are there discounts or benefits for bulk purchases?

Our pricing is straightforward. For quantities smaller than 60kg, we add a small premium to cover warehousing, picking, packaging, handling, and shipping—this helps make smaller orders possible. For full sacks, we take a commission from our sourcing partners, so the price you pay with us is the same as if you purchased directly from them. Discounts for larger volumes are listed on our site, and we calculate these based on consultations with producers and sourcing partners, reflecting the benefits of buying in bulk and committing to ongoing orders.
