Colombia Main Crop Update

We recently spoke to our exporting partner and good friend, Pedro Echeverría of Pergamino, to check in on the progress of the ongoing Main Crop harvest and gain a better understanding of current conditions on the ground.

Offer List Update

With plenty of delicious, fresh crop coffees landing so close to the madness of the holiday season, we figured it’s a good time to give an update on what’s in the country and what’s landing next.

2021… Another year to remember!

After the shock and unpredictability of 2020, 2021 saw our team ease into a new state of normalcy. This shift involved many, many emails, WhatsApp texts and Zoom calls as we adjusted to buying all our coffees without travel and servicing our customers from afar.

Meet Marcelo & Roberto Flanzer

Marcelo and Roberto Flanzer are pioneers in Brazil’s coffee industry, as they were the first family to plant coffee in Serra do Cabral, in the state of Minas Gerais. We recently spoke with Marcelo about what motivated the brothers to go down this path, and what their goals are for EcoAgricola’s future.

Guatemala Shipment Update

Our third and final container from Guatemala has recently landed, and the coffees are ready to sample! Despite spending several months in-transit, the line up is tasting sweet and distinct and will suit a number of applications. We’ve already started dispatching these special coffees around the country and we can’t wait to taste them from our roasting community.

November Shipment Update

After a busy couple of months in the cupping room, we’re excited to have wrapped up purchasing for the year! We have recently confirmed new orders from Rwanda, Bolivia, Brazil and Colombia, which are landing over the end of the year and into early 2022. With so many delicious coffees on the water, we’ve put together a brief overview to help you keep track of what’s coming next, and when.

Brazil Mid-Harvest Update

Brazil is one of the most important origins we source coffee from, making up almost 40% of the containers we import each year. More importantly, the relationships we have developed with our Brazilian suppliers are incredibly close and meaningful.

Let’s Plan Ahead!

As we head into the “blink-and-it’s-the-Holidays” time of the year, we are here to help you plan ahead to ensure you have the coffees you need, where and when you need them.
