Altiva supplies specialty and commercial Colombian coffee to cafés, restaurants, hotels and offices across Singapore — selected at origin, with one direct line back to the farm.
Sometimes distance makes you see home differently.
Singapore
After studying International Business in Colombia, Altiva’s founder eventually built a life in Singapore.
From the other side of the world, something familiar began to look different: Colombian coffee was not only part of her past. It had the potential to become a bridge between two markets, two cultures and two worlds.
Distance revealed the valueof what had always been close.
Altiva was born between two worlds.
Colombia
Altiva
Singapore · Asia
Colombia gave us our origin. Singapore gave us perspective. Altiva brings those worlds together through carefully selected Colombian coffees, strong relationships at origin and a commercial platform built for Singapore and Asia.
Global in ambition. Colombian at heart.
04Back to origin
Where the storybecomes coffee.
One of Altiva’s coffee origins takes us to Tolima, Colombia — a landscape shaped by altitude, climate and generations of coffee knowledge.
Here, coffee begins long before it reaches a cup. It begins with land, people, selection, harvest and an intimate understanding of each crop.
— 01
THE LAND
Height and cool nights slow the ripening, and slow ripening is what builds sweetness and body.
— 02
THE HARVEST
Cherry picked selectively, by hand, by people who know these lots. Only ripe fruit makes the cut.
— 03
THE PREPARATION
Milled and prepared to a written standard, and checked before it ships.
— 04
THE CUP
One farm per lot, unblended. What reaches the cup is what left that ground.
Each variety we offer has a distinct character, shaped by its origin, elevation and the hands that nurture it.

Heritage connects us to coffee.Standards define how we supply it.
Selected at origin
Colombian coffee chosen lot by lot at the farm, not bought blind from a catalogue.
Specialty and commercial
Two tiers, one standard behind both. Different coffee solutions for different business needs.
Traceability
Every lot traced back to the ground it grew on, with no blending across origins.
Singapore-based
A commercial presence in Singapore, so your supplier answers in your time zone.
Direct relationships
Built around long-term supply, not one-off transactions.
Coffee supply
Coffee supplyfor Singapore businesses.
Altiva is a coffee supplier based in Singapore, sourcing from coffee farms in Colombia. We bring the coffee here and handle the wholesale supply for the businesses that serve it — whether that calls for a specialty lot with a story behind it or a dependable commercial bean that has to taste the same every week.
Specialty coffee
Colombian specialty coffee beans for cafés and hotels that build a menu around the cup. Caturra Amarillo, Chiroso, Geisha and washed Arabica, each with its own character and its own origin.
Commercial coffee
Colombian commercial coffee beans for operations that run on volume and consistency — restaurants, hotel banqueting, offices and workplaces. Not a lesser coffee: a different job, and one that has to repeat without surprises.
Green or roasted
Supplied green from Colombia, or roasted in Singapore through our roasting partner so it reaches your bar close to the roast date instead of after months in transit.
Who we supply
Cafés, restaurants, hotelsand offices in Singapore.
Cafés & coffee shops
Wholesale coffee beans for a house blend you can stand behind and a rotating origin when you want one, with the traceability to answer a customer who asks where it came from.
Restaurants & hotels
Coffee that closes a meal properly, supplied at the consistency a service brigade needs and at the volume a hotel floor goes through.
Offices & workplaces
Better beans than the ones your team is drinking now, supplied on a standing schedule so nobody has to remember to reorder.

“I grew up around coffee. I just never imagined I would build its next chapter from the other side of the world.”
Founder, Altiva
With a background in International Business and roots in Colombia, Altiva’s founder created the company in Singapore around a simple conviction: international business can be ambitious while remaining deeply connected to people, place and origin.
Business, with heart
I have always believed in business.But never in business without people.
Altiva combines the discipline of international trade with something deeply Colombian: warmth, relationships and passion for what we create.
Because behind every lot are people, families, land and years of work.
We take the coffee seriously.And the people behind it even more so.
Business can travel farwithout losing its origin.
Altiva believes international trade should create connection, not distance. Between producers and buyers. Between Colombia and Asia. Between remarkable coffee and the businesses that choose to serve it.
The next chapter
Rooted in Colombia.Growing from Singapore.
Altiva is building a direct line between Colombian coffee origins and businesses across Singapore and Asia — bringing provenance, quality and meaningful relationships closer together.
From the mountains where the story began to the city where the next one is being built.
From coffee farms in Colombia. Altiva selects the coffee at origin and brings it to Singapore, so every lot can be traced back to the ground it grew on.
Do you supply specialty coffee or commercial coffee?
Both. Specialty lots for businesses that want a distinctive cup and a story to tell, and commercial Colombian coffee for operations that need consistency and volume. Different coffee solutions for different business needs.
Who does Altiva supply in Singapore?
Cafés and coffee shops, restaurants and hotels, and offices and workplaces across Singapore. Altiva supplies both whole beans and the wholesale volumes those operations run on.
Does Altiva roast the coffee?
Altiva does not own a roastery. Coffee is roasted in Singapore by our roasting partner, so it reaches your bar close to the roast date rather than after months in transit.
Can we try the coffee before we order?
Yes. Tell us the volume you handle and the market you serve, and we will send samples for your own cupping table before any commitment.
