Most importers fly in for a week during harvest. At Origin Bridge, we operate differently. Based permanently in Pereira (Colombia) and The Netherlands, we bridge the gap between producer and roaster every single day.
This allows us to solve issues before they become problems, and deliver consistent quality harvest after harvest.
We combine direct access to Colombia’s best lots with the reliability of European logistics. No hidden intermediaries — just clear roles and transparent trade.
“My job is simple: I ensure the coffee gets from the farm to your roastery without headaches.”
With a background in Dutch business, Joram manages the complex export and import chain. While the passion for Colombia started the journey, it is his focus on logistics that defines the company.
He ensures that the beans sourced in the Andes arrive safely at our Antwerp and Dutch logistics hubs, ready for distribution to roasters in over 10 European countries.
“I speak the language of the farmers, literally and culturally. Trust is our most valuable currency.”
As a fourth-generation coffee grower, Natalia brings a lifetime of agronomy expertise to Origin Bridge. She manages quality control and relationships directly at the source.
Instead of just trading, she focuses on enhancing post-harvest processes on the ground. She bridges the gap between Colombian farming traditions and European standards, ensuring fair prices for producers and consistent quality for you.
“I've stood in the farmer's boots and the roaster's shoes. I know exactly where the disconnect happens.”
With over 15 years in the Colombian coffee industry, Julio covers the entire technical spectrum: from small-scale farming to professional roasting and cupping.
He doesn't just sympathize with producers; he understands their technical reality. He uses this deep operational knowledge to select lots that don't just tell a good story, but consistently perform on the cupping table.
We work with a selected group of producers over multiple harvests. Volumes, quality targets, and expectations are aligned long before the coffee ships.
Long-term sourcing only works if farms remain productive. Together with our partners, we invest in shade systems and native tree planting to support soil health and climate resilience.
The goal is simple: farms that stay healthy, productive, and relevant for decades to come.
We believe in open books. Because we manage the export ourselves, we eliminate unnecessary intermediaries. The result? A larger share of the value remains exactly where it belongs: with the producer.
As you can see, over 60% of the value stays in the origin. This isn't philanthropy; it's a sustainable business model that guarantees quality for you and a fair living for our partners.
