Our Partnerships: Former and Current
Our beans have been purchased and trusted by well-known brands, making us a reliable and reputable choice for your coffee needs
Overview
We are a third-generation family company with over 45 years in the business and we are passionate about specialty coffee. Our aim is to bring the best from Ecuador including specialty coffee from the Galapagos Islands
Our expertly curated selection of beans, from both our own coffee plantations and trusted local farmers, ensures that every coffee is of the highest quality. We work exclusively with farmers across the country and help local communities by providing training and work opportunities while promoting sustainable practices
Ecuador is mainly divided into four regions, which include: Coastal, Andean, Amazon, and Insular (Galapagos) regions. Each region has its own distinct culture, traditions, and weather conditions
The Andean region and the Galapagos Islands are known for the best specialty arabica in the country and it is from these regions where we primarily sourced our beans
GORA Limited was founded in 2023 in Hong Kong to manage the Asian market out of Hong Kong. And in connection with AGROGORA CIA, the family business in Ecuador and established in the Galapagos Islands, we serve clients on a global scale and out of Hong Kong
