CTS - successful Coffee trading for more than 20 years

Green coffee directly from smallholders and cooperatives

We have been working successfully with many of our partners, farmers and cooperatives for many years. It is important to us that coffee-growing countries in particular benefit from trading coffee. Through direct exchange with small farmers, pickers and cooperatives, we are able to achieve transparency in payment methods and value creation!

Dear coffee friends,
I have been active in coffee trading for more than 20 years, many years in buying and selling, travelling to growing countries and in quality management, tasting numerous coffees from all countries of the world.

Excerpt of our green coffees from around the world

Our Coffee

Brazil – Sao Silvestre

With the continuous aim of improving the quality and diversity of the coffee, Faszenda Sao Silvestre was acquired by the Andrade family in the 1990s. The farm is located 15 km from the town of Serra do Salitre, at an average altitude of 1,220 metres. Faszenda Sao Silvestre is known for its beautiful landscape, excellent green coffee and sustainable and prudent cultivation.

Brazil – Capim Branco

Ismael Jose de Andrade has been running the company ABEX (Andrade Brother Exportacion) for years with his brother Eduardo, who is only lovingly called “the Doctor”. He practised as a psychiatrist for many years, but today he has devoted himself entirely to his family’s passion for coffee. The Andrade family has been running coffee farms (such as Fazenda Capim Branco) since 1901.

Rwanda – Ngororero Coffee Growers

The Ngororero district in Rwanda has a coffee processing facility that is supplied with coffee beans by the surrounding farmers. By training the coffee farmers over many years, excellent coffees could be produced and an export market could be established. The fully washed & naturally processed coffee is harvested between April and July. The red coffee cherries are also called Red Bourbon because of their intense colour.

Brazil – Camocim

Camocim is a timber and coffee farm in Espírito Santo, Brazil. It is situated at an altitude of about 1,200 metres and covers a cultivated area of about 300 hectares. Henrique Sloper, former president of the Brazil Specialty Coffee Association (BSCA), took over the farm from his grandfather and has been growing coffee organically there since 1999. Camocim is organic and biodynamic (Demeter) certified.

Ethiopia – Sidamo

Dimtu Coffee Industry P.L.C. specialises in sustainable cultivation, processing and global marketing of high-quality speciality coffees. The organisation was founded in 2007, has 370 member farms and follows the following principles: trust in quality, transparency and traceability, sustainability and quality assurance.

Peru – Millenium Yakumama Organic

Peru Millenium Organic Coffee – a coffee brand from Jaén and San Ignacio in the Cajamarca region of northern Peru. In this region, parcel coffees are grown that achieve the highest scores in tasting competitions called cuppings. In the Cup of Excellence® competition held in Peru in 2017, the first three places were won by parcel coffees or microlots from the Cajamarca region.

Guatemala – Lampocoy

The small village of Lampocoy is located in the coffee-growing region of “Nuevo Oriente” in eastern Guatemala. It rains throughout the year with a rainfall of over 2,000 mm. Temperatures range between 18 and 25 degrees during the day. The soils are deeply weathered. The original rocks are metamorphic volcanic. The conditions are therefore perfect for growing high-quality coffee!

India – Monsooned Malabar Organic

This coffee is called “Monsoon Malabar” because it is exposed to the monsoon and the winds of the Malabar coast. The coffee is unique to the Malabar Coast of Karnataka and Kerala and has a protected status under the Indian Geographical Indications of Goods Act.
