Start by learning about coffees and coffee roasting. Sweet Marias is a great place to get started. You can find out about varietal coffees, geographical coffees, roasting, etc… They also can sell you green beans, roasted beans, smaller roasting equipment, and some limited packaging equipment. They also have lots of good information about coffee and coffee roasting and links to other sites.This might be a good place to check out the industry and to learn how to try roasting your own.
If you are looking to buy on a large scale you will want to check out Royal Coffee Company in New York State. http://www.royalny.com/
You may also want to check out the Specialty Coffee Association and their conference in Long Beach in May. http://scaa.org/

Sounds like you want to repackage someone else’s coffee? I would start by making contacts in columbia and bogata and getting them to sell you beans grown to your specs(im assuming your a master brewer? or have somebackground in coffee).
