We help you find the coffee you want and deserve!

The tale of Kaldi is almost as famous as coffee itself, universally recognizing Ethiopia as the birthplace of coffee (and mankind, of course).

The biggest producer of coffee in Africa today, Ethiopia, is thought to have been exporting coffee as early as the 17th century. Even now, four centuries later, the value of coffee to the economy of the nation cannot be overstated, accounting for nearly 70% of the annual export revenue and employing a staggering 15 million citizens.

Importing coffee from Ethiopia is no small endeavor. Finding a dependable supplier, verifying stock availability, expediting for timely shipment, neat documentation, and more importantly, the certainty of getting the quality of coffee you paid for is in some cases, too challenging.

As anyone who has done business in Ethiopia would tell you, having a capable and trustworthy assistant who understands the economic, legal, political, and social landscape is ideal for a successful coffee operation. That’s where we come in.
