Our story

It started with a call from Costa Rica

In 2024, producers in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica reached out and asked us to represent their coffee in Canada. We said yes.

Café Tico Trading Company Inc. was incorporated on April 8, 2025. It grew through two complementary activities: landscaping in Montréal, our first operating activity, and a developing coffee venture built around those relationships. Read the full story.

Our mission & purpose

Lasting connections, from the farm to the cup.

Our purpose is to build lasting connections between coffee producers and the businesses that serve their coffee, and to create opportunities for producers through fair dealing, thoughtful representation and dependable partnerships. Fair Trade certification and better access to education in producer communities are goals we are working toward.

Our founder grew up in Colombia and wants the people of Central and South America to be better off, and everyone in Montréal and across North America to taste a better cup. Read our mission.
