Colombian coffee beans
Roasted Arabica Excelso, made to your customers' taste
We start from Excelso green coffee, the grade Colombia exports its coffee in. Large beans, few defects and a smooth, aromatic cup.
You pick the roast, light, medium or dark, and the roaster dials it in before packing. Prefer to roast in your own plant? See our Brazilian green coffee beans.

Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask us about roasted coffee
How much do wholesale coffee beans cost per ton?
The price follows the origin market, so we quote every week in US dollars per metric ton. We price by the 20 ft container, FOB, CFR or CIF. Just tell us the volume, the roast and your destination port.
How many coffee beans fit in a 20 ft container?
19 to 20 metric tons. In 70 kg bags, that is roughly 270 to 285 bags.
What is Colombian Excelso coffee?
It is Colombia's standard export grade, set by the National Federation of Coffee Growers. The beans are screen 14, with at least half on screen 15, and have no more than 72 defects per 500 g and 12% moisture.
How are bulk roasted coffee beans packed?
Roasted beans give off CO2 for days, so they need an inner bag with an oxygen barrier and a valve. We agree it with the roaster, and it goes inside 70 kg bags, GrainPro or big bags.
How long do roasted coffee beans last?
It depends on the packaging. Colombian roasters give their ground coffee in trilaminate bags 10 months from roasting. Store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, with the bag tightly closed.
Which ports does Colombian coffee ship from?
Buenaventura on the Pacific, and Cartagena and Santa Marta on the Caribbean. The port of loading is set in the contract based on your destination.
