a quick primer on ethiopia coffee
ethiopia is where coffee started. arabica is endemic. heirloom varietals are blended into 'ethiopia' lots from yirgacheffe, sidamo, guji, harrar, limu - each with distinct floral, citrus, or stone-fruit profiles. processing is split between natural (sun-dried in cherry) and washed (de-pulped, fermented, washed clean). natural ethiopians give blueberry, jasmine, peach. washed give bergamot, jasmine, lemon. small co-op lots dominate the specialty trade. expect $8-15/kg green at the importer.
how to source ethiopia wholesale
contact the roaster direct
every card on this page links through to the roaster's wholesale page. no marketplace, no commission. you place the order with the roaster and they ship the bean.
match the moq to your café
wholesale minimums range from 1kg (boutique) to a full pallet (100kg+). a single-shop café running one bean averages 8-15kg/week of espresso. multi-shop groups land in the commercial bucket. each card carries the roaster's stated minimum so you don't waste a discovery call.
lead time is the hidden cost
specialty roasters batch-roast to order, so "in stock" rarely means same-day shipping. fast roasters (≤5 days from order to door) cost a small premium. slow roasters (15+ days) are usually micro-batch operations roasting twice a week.
ethiopia availability is seasonal
green coffee is a crop. Ethiopia harvest windows are fixed, so a roaster carrying ethiopia year-round is either holding stock or blending across two harvests. ask which lot is current before you commit to a six-month menu.
