Our Story
Rooted in West Arsi,
Reaching the World
Tade Coffee is an Ethiopian specialty coffee export company born from a belief that the world deserves to taste the extraordinary coffees growing in the Nensebo highlands — and that the farmers who grow them deserve recognition and fair reward.
We operate our own washing stations and drying beds, work directly with smallholder farmers, and maintain rigorous quality standards at every step. The result: coffees with a story, flavor, and provenance that sets them apart in any cupping.
