Coffee Sourcing Journey
Sourcing starts at origin.
Some coffees are bought. Others are discovered at origin.
A 6-day origin journey designed for buyers, roasters, and coffee professionals seeking to build meaningful sourcing relationships in Ecuador.
Travel across diverse producing regions: from Andean highlands to cloud forests and emerging coffee areas, engaging directly with producers, processes, and coffees shaping the country’s specialty landscape.
Beyond access to exceptional coffees, this journey offers insight into traceability, production decisions, and the people behind each lot, providing a clearer understanding of how quality, pricing, and origin context influence sourcing.
