BEST ETHIOPIAN COFFEE EXPORTER FOR IMPORTERS WORLDWIDE
Direct-from-origin green coffee for importers, trading companies, and specialty coffee businesses worldwide
Jan 15, 2025
Finding a reliable Ethiopian coffee exporter or Ethiopian coffee supplier can be challenging. Quality varies, communication breaks down, and traceability often ends at the export dock.
Ethio Coffee is different. We're not a broker - we're an Ethiopian coffee export company founded by two brothers, with direct operations in Ethiopia, built to serve importers who demand quality, transparency, and consistency.
Why importers choose Ethio Coffee: Direct relationships with farmers, full lot traceability, competitive FOB pricing, professional documentation, and a team that bridges Ethiopian origin with international markets.
Who We Are: Ethiopian Coffee Exporters with a Family Legacy
Our father spent over 30 years working in Ethiopia's coffee regions - not just trading, but learning how coffee is grown, processed, and cared for at every step. He built relationships with farming communities, invested in his own estate, and operated locally within Ethiopia for decades.
In 2022, we established Ethio Coffee Export PLC, registered with the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange, to bring our relationship-driven approach to importers worldwide. Today, we source from our own estates and a network of trusted partner growers across Ethiopia's celebrated coffee regions.
With one brother on the ground in Ethiopia and one Ethiopian-Canadian handling international relationships, we bridge the gap that often frustrates importers working with origin suppliers.
What We Export: Speciality Ethiopian Green Coffee
As one of the leading coffee suppliers in Ethiopia, we export specialty and commercial grade green coffee from the country's most sought-after origins:
- Yirgacheffe - Floral, citrus, tea-like. The benchmark for washed Ethiopian coffee.
- Sidamo (Sidama) - Berry, wine, balanced. Versatile across roast profiles.
- Guji - Complex, fruity, heavy body. Gaining rapid recognition in specialty markets.
- Limu - Winey, spicy, balanced. Excellent for espresso blends.
- Harrar - Wild, fruity, distinctive. Sun-dried naturals with bold character.
- Jimma - Earthy, full-bodied. Strong commercial grade performer.
We offer both washed and natural processed coffees, with grades ranging from Grade 1 specialty to Grade 4 commercial - whatever your roastery or blend program requires.
