Who is COTA?

We are two coffee lovers who set out to finance our plane tickets between Thailand and Colombia. What began as a lighthearted hobby—hoping at best to fund our travels and at worst to enjoy great coffee, meet wonderful people, and develop unique skills—has grown beyond our expectations.

Barely a year later, we are unbelievably a proper company. We've scaled from sending a few kilos to shipping container loads, and now distribute our coffees in over 15 countries across Eastern and Western Asia.

We believe our success comes from our commitment to fair pricing and transparent sourcing. We are happy to share the contact information of all our farmers—if you want to source directly from them, that would make us even happier.

Our focus is on finding differentiated products that offer the right balance of price and quality. Today, we distribute primarily out of Singapore, and for the bravest (and most cost-conscious) among us, we can organize orders directly in Colombia (FOB).
