Cata Export was founded by Cat, a designer, and Pierre, a musician—both former baristas in the UK. Their shared passion for Colombian coffee led them to establish the company, combining sourcing expertise with strong relationships at origin.

Cata Export operates exclusively in Colombia. In addition to working closely with producers across the country, Cat and Pierre also run their own farm, Cata Reserva, in Timaná, Huila - 30 hectares of which half is preserved as natural reserve land.

Cata Export partners with a wide range of Colombian producers, including youth-led projects and Afro-Colombian communities. They focus on sourcing from regions that are relatively new to the specialty scene, building long-term, traceable relationships.

Yes. After five years in exporting, Cat and Pierre became producers at Cata Reserva. Their farm allows them to deepen their understanding of coffee production, experiment with clean agricultural practices, and engage directly with their local community.

Transparency is central to Cata Export’s work. They share the stories behind each coffee, encourage roasters to connect with producers, and build lasting relationships that go beyond the transaction.
