Sourcing
At El Cafe, sourcing is more than a commercial process. It’s a commitment. It’s about the relationships we build, the communities we support, and the quality we preserve in every single coffee bean.
From Colombia to the fertile lands of Ethiopia and the diverse regions of India, we travel to origin, visit farms, cup at the source, and collaborate directly with producers and cooperatives.

Beyond Trading – Our Approach to Direct Sourcing
At El Cafe, we go beyond coffee trading. We build long-term relationships with producers who share our passion for quality and sustainability.
Transparency & Traceability – Every coffee lot we bring has a story. Support for Small Farms & Community Projects – We actively invest in origins that make a difference. Tailored Profiles – From single origins and microlots to certified and specialty coffees that meet the evolving needs of roasters.
