How to Import Specialty Green Coffee from Tolima with Conexión al Origen
Importing green coffee directly from Tolima, Colombia with efficient logistics and preserving green coffee quality with State-of-the-Art Packaging
The department of Tolima has established itself as the quintessential coffee region of Colombia, leading the production of specialty coffees thanks to its geographic diversity, volcanic soils, and a continuously improving logistics chain.
How to import green coffee directly from Tolima
For international importers and roasters, securing a direct and transparent import channel from the source is key to guaranteeing freshness, quality, and consistency.
Guaranteed Export Registration
- The first challenge when importing coffee from Colombia is the exporter's regulatory compliance with the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC). With Conexión al Origen, this obstacle disappears: we hold a valid National Exporters Registry and directly manage Export Announcements, Almacafé inspections, and ICA phytosanitary controls at the port. This mitigates any risk of customs delays and guarantees absolute traceability from Tolima's farms to the port of destination.
Preserving Green Coffee Quality with State-of-the-Art Packaging
The exceptional quality of Tolima's coffee, see this post, is protected by advanced packaging solutions that shield the beans against moisture and the gradual loss of their attributes during maritime transit or once your coffee reaches its destination:
- 35 kg Bags with GrainPro: An ideal format for agile handling, protected by high-density hermetic barrier technology that slows down the aging of the green bean. We typically use these for coffees scoring up to 85 SCA points, or upon customer request.
- 12 kg Vacuum Packs (in 24 kg Boxes): The ultimate protection for micro-lots and high-scoring coffees. This system completely removes oxygen, stopping oxidation processes and preserving the cup profile intact for months. We typically use these for coffees scoring 86 SCA points or higher.
At Conexión al Origen, we transform the complexities of international trade into a competitive advantage for your business.
