about us

Since the founding of the company in the year 2000, Virmax has been working hard to build long-term business relationships, providing our clients with only the best quality products, on the basis of professionalism, transparency, integrity and honesty. Virmax is considered by many roasters and importers around the world as the premier exporter of Colombian Specialty Coffees, working under Direct Relationship schemes.

After almost five years of developing direct relationships with coffee growers throughout Colombia, we can proudly say that we count with over 5,000 coffee growers in the departments of Antioquia, Caldas, Cauca, Huila, Nariño and Tolima as our suppliers. And every day more and more coffee growers are drawn toward our Direct Relationship model, aiming to build relationships with the roasters who purchase their coffee under the same principles that guide us: quality, transparency, traceability, long-term relationships and sustainability.

Conscious that our customers want only the best, we have implemented probably the strictest quality controls in the Colombian coffee industry. Our rigorous quality controls include analyzing every lot of parchment coffee that is delivered to our warehouses by coffee growers, as well as performing multiple controls before and after the coffee is milled. And we not only look for a clean cup; we look for outstanding, consistent quality coffees within a specific cup profile. These procedures assure our customers that they will receive the highest possible quality, shipment after shipment. Virmax does not cut corners when it comes to quality control and management.

Our team is fully committed to bringing the best Colombian coffees to the market. We count on highly qualified and trained cuppers who work very closely with coffee growers in different areas of the country, not only analyzing coffee samples but also helping growers improve the quality of their offering. Education on quality is key to the sustainability and growth of the Specialty Coffee industry.
