- For roasters, cafés that roast in-house and importers
- Ships in 70 kg bags or in smaller quantities

We reply by email with how long it takes and how much it costs to get that coffee to your destination.
Short supply chain
Fewer links, more coffee for what you pay
In the traditional chain, coffee changes hands several times before it reaches your country, and every middleman adds a margin. Altorigen works directly with producers and runs the process digitally, so the price reflects the coffee and the shipping, not a row of margins.

International freight, customs and your country’s import taxes exist in any supply chain. We quote them separately and in writing.
Direct relationship with the farm
We know who grew the coffee and how it was processed. No rounds of reselling in between.
Lower intermediation cost
Fewer hands between the farm and your warehouse means fewer margins stacked into the price.
Digital process
The request and the quote happen online and stay in writing, with no back offices in between.
Market
The price of Colombian coffee worldwide
Colombian milds trade above other origins because of their cup quality. This is how the green coffee price has moved over the last ten years, in US dollars per kilo.

Green or roasted
Two ways to bring the coffee home
It depends on whether you will roast it yourself or want it ready to brew.
Roasted coffee
Roasted in Colombia and packed, ready to brew. It arrives with the roast profile the producer chose for that coffee.
- For shops, cafés and corporate gifts
- Ships packed and ready to brew
- Suits small quantities and fast turnover

FAQ
Before you write
Can I buy coffee from Colombia if I live in another country?
Yes. Fill in the form on this page with the destination country and quantity. The Altorigen team reviews the request and replies by email with lead time and cost.
Why is buying direct better?
Because the coffee passes through fewer hands. In the traditional chain there is a local buyer, a dry mill, an exporter, an importer and a distributor, and each adds a margin. With Altorigen the coffee goes from a farm with export registration to your destination, and freight is quoted separately and in writing.
Why does Colombian coffee cost more than other origins?
Colombia grows only arabica, almost all of it washed and grown in the mountains. That is why Colombian milds usually trade above other origins: in September 2026, the ICO indicator was US$7.85 per kilo, against US$6.40 for Brazilian naturals.
Do you sell green or roasted coffee?
Both. Green coffee ships in bags to be roasted at destination. Roasted coffee ships packed and ready to brew.
What is the minimum order?
We take requests from 5 kg. For green coffee the usual unit is the Colombian 70 kg bag.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the coffee, whether it ships green or roasted, the quantity and the delivery location. That is why we do not publish a fixed price: we reply with the cost and lead time for your case.
Do you reply in English?
Yes. Requests sent from this page get an English reply.
Is this the same as the Altorigen online store?
No. This page is only for purchases delivered outside Colombia. Every request is handled directly by our team.
