Ethiopian green coffee — sourced, roasted, packed.
We buy green Arabica directly at origin in Ethiopia, ship it under our own documentation, then roast, blend and pack to your specification — one supplier from the washing station to the shelf.
Source
Direct relationships with Ethiopian producers and washing stations across Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, Guji, Jimma and Harrar. Grading, cupping and moisture checks before a single sack ships.
Roast
Contract roasting to your profile — light filter through dark espresso — with blend development, repeatable roast curves and batch-level consistency you can put your name on.
Pack
Private-label packing in valve bags, tins or bulk — whole bean or ground, 250g retail to 60kg export — with label compliance handled for your destination market.
Our engagement process
Where we operate
Gulf Region
The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia — the region's deepest pools of capital and its most advanced trade infrastructure, and our gateway for franchise brands entering the wider region.
Middle East
Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine — our home region, where we hold the deepest relationships, the fastest execution and direct government access.
North Africa
Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya — a 200-million-strong consumer belt on Europe’s doorstep, with fast-liberalising trade and franchise regimes.
East Africa
Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda — the fastest-growing consumer markets on the continent and a genuine frontier for franchise and trade entry.
