Genuine Origin

genuine origin is a direct-to-roaster green coffee importer founded in 2016, operating as the online sales division of volcafe, one of the largest coffee trading groups in the world. headquartered in irvington, new york, the company serves u.s. specialty roasters of varying sizes through an e-commerce platform that allows buyers to purchase by the bag or by the full container. pricing is published transparently online, and quantity discounts apply at higher volumes. free domestic shipping is offered on qualifying orders. the current origin portfolio covers brazil, colombia, ethiopia, guatemala, honduras, nicaragua, peru, and costa rica. by sitting within the volcafe supply chain, genuine origin draws on established relationships with producers and exporters across those origins, though the platform is oriented toward accessible purchasing rather than bespoke lot development. the model is designed to reduce the logistics and negotiation burden for roasters who want reliable access to green coffee without managing direct import relationships. the team is small, with eleven to fifty employees listed, and the company has operated continuously since its founding.
