Our Roots
Born in Côte d’Ivoire, we grew up with cocoa and coffee all around us. From Abidjan to San Pedro, coffee became part of our mornings, our family, and our culture. The cocoa aroma drifting through Abidjan shaped our love for Ivorian flavors.
Célia
Between France, Brazil and Laos, Célia developed a strong understanding of coffee origins and sensory quality, from university exchanges to Laotian farm visits and time spent in Brazil. Her journey now guides SONECA’s marketing and sourcing strategy.
Karim
With experience in commodity trading and logistics, Karim gained key insight into Robusta markets during his time in Vietnam. At SONECA, he oversees global operations and export strategy.
How We Work
From origin sourcing to worldwide delivery : full control, full transparency.
Our model combines direct sourcing with flexible logistics. Whether you buy spot in Antwerp, book a lot on a shared container or buy a full container from origin, you benefit from the same transparency, traceability, and quality control.
Origin Collaboration
We source directly from producers and exporters in key coffees regions. Regular cupping sessions and lot selection ensure consistency and quality.
From Spot to full Containers
Choose your preferred model: buy spot in Europe, secure a bag/several tons on shared container or buy FCL at origin. All options include full transparency on quality, costs, and documentation.
Long-term Partnerships
We build lasting relationships with roasters who value collaboration. Plan your sourcing calendar and co-create future lots with us.
