About ICT

InterContinental Coffee Trading was established in January 2009 by Lisa Colon and Tom O’Hallaron. In April 2011, InterContinental Coffee Trading merged with Daarnhouwer & Co., BV, a leading green coffee trading company based in The Netherlands. Daarnhouwer purchased Tom O'Hallaron's shares and became majority shareholders of the company (see news/links). The company works with green coffee producers and exporters and distributes to roasters in North America, Europe and Japan. With a combined 70 years of experience in coffee, finance, trading and risk management, we’ve built strong and long lasting relationships with coffee producers, exporters, importers and roasters worldwide. It has enabled us to create an innovative and modern day green coffee trading company providing superior service and delivering the finest coffee to our customers.

Our mission is to develop and build long term relationships with our suppliers and customers throughout the world so we can consistently source unique, interesting and high quality coffee for our clients while maintaining our promise of superior service.
