Export Coffee Workshop

Our virtual Export Coffee Workshop gives you the knowledge you need to establish your business to export coffee from Latin America.

We’ll help you define, improve, and amplify your coffee export business.

The workshop is conducted by Karen Attman, the founder of the Latin American Coffee Academy. She’s a coffee professor and the author of Permission to Slurp, the book about specialty coffee in Colombia.

In the Export Coffee Workshop, Karen will help you craft a personalized approach to exporting coffee from Latin America.

Before the workshop she will communicate with you by email to find out your main interests and concerns. Based on that call, the information covered during the workshop will be specifically what you need to know about exporting coffee from Latin America.

  • Should you purchase green coffee or roasted coffee?
  • Can you export coffee even if you don’t have an export license?
