The Source Coffee & Tea Importers

Our story began with a passion for exceptional coffee and a deep-rooted connection to Ecuador. After over a decade working with Ecuadorian coffee, the world of specialty coffee is discovering what we’ve known all along: Ecuador produces some of the most complex and celebrated coffees in the world. Known for their raw sugarcane sweetness and stone fruit complexity, these coffees thrive in Ecuador’s esteemed growing regions—and we’re fortunate to be at the heart of it all, with direct access to the freshest, most flavorful beans. What began as a simple mission to share Ecuador’s incredible coffee evolved into a commitment to deeper connections with the land and people who cultivate it. We embrace traceability, fair trade, and sustainability, ensuring each bean reflects respect for the environment and equity for those who grow it. As a social impact business, we’re determined to combat poverty and migration by building strong, enduring relationships with our farmers. We provide our farming partners with resources that empower fair labor practices, agroecological farming, and sustainable prosperity within their communities. Our farmers are more than just suppliers—they’re essential allies who receive a much-deserved, larger share of profits in a streamlined supply chain that bypasses traditional middlemen. This approach ensures fair pricing and premium quality for you. Ecuadorian coffee is typically only commercialized a few months each year, but our innovative logistics model allows for Ecuador’s coffee and other products to be enjoyed year-round, letting this remarkable coffee truly shine.
