Colombia - Cota Coffee, Finca Rio Negro Tropical Popsicle

Cota Cafe began as a simple mission to fund flights between Thailand and Colombia. Within two years, this hobby became a focused startup distributing premium Colombian coffee to 15 countries across East and West Asia from their Singapore base.

While Cota doesn't farm the land themselves, they’re a link to Colombian producers through a model of radical transparency. By prioritizing fair trade practices, they strike a balance between sustainable pricing for farmers and high-quality standards for roasters.

Cota Cafe sources Arabica from every corner of Colombia, screening each lot with criteria like flavor, social impact, and grain quality. Transparency and freshness are non-negotiable, with every bag clearly labeled by harvest, dry milling, and packaging dates.

Their curated selection provides roasters with essential market diversity, offering an alternative to the narrow choices of major exporters.
