Buy Ethiopian green coffee.

How to buy specialty or commercial grade from an Ethiopia green coffee supplier you can check: samples, terms, documents, payment and lead times. We act for the buyer, and every figure on a lot is a reading, not a description.

Four steps.

Send the brief

Cup profile, process, volume and timing.

Receive the shortlist

Lots that fit, from exporters we have vetted. If nothing fits, we say so.

Read the dossier

Station name, delivery date, harvest window, process, moisture, water activity, screen distribution and the Q score with its scoresheet.

Approve a sample, then ship

Samples come from the actual lot. The shipment travels with its documents and is read again on landing.

Samples.

Samples are drawn from the actual lot on offer, not from a display jar. Two come from the same draw: one is sent to you to cup on your own bench, and one is held against the shipment so what arrives can be read against what you approved. The sample weight and dispatch are confirmed when you request one.

Lead times.

The crop is harvested from November to January for the Yirgacheffe and Sidama lots, and December to February for Guji and Limu. From Addis Ababa to Djibouti is about 900 km: road takes 2 to 4 days and rail 24 to 36 hours. The total lead time for a lot is given with the offer. Read the logistics entry.
