<\/span> <\/p>\n Suggest an addition or update a listing via email at “info at coffeebeaned.com” or use the contact page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Coffee Roasters need coffee beans, so we created this list to help roasters locate sources of coffee beans. In the development of this listing the coffee terminology of coffee importer, exporter, agent, distributor, Co-op and broker created some confusion.<\/p>\n In order to bring green coffee beans into any country, it must first be exported from the source country and imported into the destination country. After importation, coffee is distributed via the importer or another company through wholesale or retail channels.<\/p>\n To keep this distribution listing simple, we will refer to coffee wholesale sources within the U.S. as Importers only (until we learn otherwise).<\/p>\n
