Velvet Coffee was founded on a clear vision: to connect worlds through quality coffee, linking Colombian farmers with Belgian roasteries in a seamless and sustainable journey. Founded by Ilse Geyskens in 2014 in Medellín, Colombia, the company was part of the pioneer movement of specialty coffee in Colombia and later expanded to Brussels in 2016.
Velvet Coffee specialises in direct trade, specialty-grade Colombian coffee, managing the entire journey from farm to cup. By sourcing directly from producers and overseeing its own import, roasting and distribution, the company ensures transparency, freshness, and fairness at every stage.
