Since 2000, we’ve been on a mission to make specialty coffee as prosperous as it is delicious by facilitating the equitable exchange of green coffee between highly skilled coffee producers in Latin America and high-quality coffee roasters around the world.  

Using our business to make coffee a better industry gives our work a meaning 

BUILDING CONNECTIONS

Our mission extends beyond transactions; it's about empowerment, education, and forging lasting bonds that elevate lives. Serving as the talent agent for Latin America's most skilled smallholder coffee producers, we champion growth and sustainability. By securing long-term contracts with fixed prices, we provide income security for farmers and stability for roasters, fostering a symbiotic partnership that diminishes uncertainty. Together, we craft a sustainable future where premium coffee isn't just a purchase; it's a promise of prosperity, shared and sustained over the years. 

EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES TO THRIVE

We are not a typical coffee trader. We don’t just buy and sell green coffee for a living.  We are an integral part of the communities where we work, ensuring that everybody wins – from the coffee pickers to coffee drinkers, including our communities and the planet. In the heart of coffee-growing regions, we establish labs and warehouses, not just for coffee but as seeds of opportunity. We empower sons and daughters of farmers, employing them as quality analysts and educators, fostering personal and professional growth. Our commitment extends to paying a living wage to 100% of our workforce. Simultaneously, we fuel the empowerment of coffee consumers—nurturing informed decision-making, awareness, and education. We believe in equitable conversations, spotlighting both producers and consumers, fostering empathy and shared stories that weave a sustainable future for every link in the coffee chain. 

EMBRACING DIVERSITY

At Caravela Coffee, diversity isn't just a concept; it's the very essence of our beans, our people, and our mission. Across seven countries, from Mexico to Peru, we celebrate the diverse origins, profiles, and stories that each coffee holds. Our meticulous sourcing and exporting operations, coupled with on-the-ground teams, empower us to control the supply chain. We've crafted unique community lots, weaving tales from specific areas into consistently great-tasting coffee. Working hand in hand with smallholder farmers, we break the chains of traditional intermediaries, ensuring they earn the full value of their exceptional coffees. With transparency, traceability, and rigorous quality controls, we embrace diversity at every level, offering a symphony of flavors for roasters worldwide. 

DOING MORE GOOD THAN HARM

For over two decades, Caravela Coffee has steered a purpose-driven journey, aligning prosperity with responsibility in the coffee industry. Our commitment transcends profits, prioritizing people, and the planet. We've propelled economic, social, and environmental sustainability at the forefront of our business model, placing humanity and Earth above all. Establishing our organic supply chain, we've empowered countless farmers to attain certification, securing better prices while nurturing the environment. In 2021, we proudly became the first Carbon Neutral green coffee trading company. Beyond the typical trader, we're integral community partners, ensuring a triumph for everyone—from the hands that pick the beans to those savoring the brew, embracing communities, and safeguarding our planet.

Caravela is a recognized leader in green coffee sustainability, an early adopter of emerging technologies in the green coffee industry, and an innovator of practices, principles, and processes that aim to make coffee better for all. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond immediate profits; it's a relentless journey, an enduring contribution to a brighter coffee world. Today, we understand that sustainability is a shared odyssey. Collaborating with like-minded partners, we forge new commercial relationships to amplify our impact on farmers and the environment, recognizing that the journey towards a better future for coffee is a collective endeavor.
