Caravela Coffee

Caravela is a Latin American green coffee exporter and importer that responsibly sources coffee from almost 4,000 coffee producers across eight countries in Latin America, the majority of which are smallholder farmers. Almost 90% of the Caravela team is based at origin, most of them agronomists or cuppers providing training, technical support and quality feedback to producers in Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru. Alongside its import offices in Europe, North America, and Australia, Caravela is dedicated to bridging the gap between specialty coffee roasters and smallholder coffee farmers, focused on quality, transparency and long-term sustainable relationships. Caravela has been a B-Corp certified company since 2014 and has been named by B-Labs a Best-for-the-World company the last four years. Caravela is recognized as an industry leader by specialty coffee roasters for its high impact model and its uncompromising quality, transparency and traceability. Caravela was founded in 2000 by two Colombian entrepreneurs, Giancarlo Ghiretti and Alejandro Cadena. In 19 years, the company has built a strong and dedicated team of 175 employees from 15 different nationalities.
