Ocafi

ocafi is a green coffee sourcing company founded in 2017, operating out of são paulo, berlin, and new york. the company sources exclusively from brazil and handles the full supply chain from farm to roastery, positioning itself as an alternative to large cooperatives and traditional export channels. it works directly with brazilian growers and connects them to roasteries in europe and the united states, aiming to reduce the information gap between producers and buyers. ocafi holds rainforest alliance certification for its sourced coffees. its stated model covers door-to-door logistics and is built around a direct-trade framework that bypasses conventional intermediaries. the company is developing a digital marketplace to give growers more visibility over the value of their product and allow them to market directly to buyers. with a team of two to ten people, ocafi operates at a relatively small scale, making it more suited to roasters seeking traceable brazilian lots with direct producer relationships than to buyers requiring high-volume commodity supply.
