Your efforts will require an enormous amount of work if you desire to avoid a lot of middle men, who will have to be broken through, to work on a can or container design that will sell and a way to market it against the large already existing coffee distributors.
Roasted (not toasted) coffee is branded coffee and is very rare to find in the larger commercial marketplace, except in specialty stores, for as you must know it will have to be kept in vacuum sealed containers in order to keep it fresh.
If you can design an eye catching proper can, and then find a specialty niche at a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s or similar store you may have a chance. Otherwise, it is much easier to represent a large number of growers and simply send bulk coffee beans to America to an already existing brand.
As an example, Blue Mountain Coffee distributes its native grown Jamaican coffee to America to specialty stores, but it was already a Jamaican national brand, long before it was exported.
I would suggest that you do good research on how Blue Mountain and other brands were able to achieve a breakthrough into the American Market.
