The Founding Story
A Champion for
Ethiopian Coffee
Edmealem founded this company with a singular belief — that Ethiopia's coffee, the world's most complex and diverse, deserved a dedicated champion in global markets. Starting as a small supplier to other exporters, she learned every layer of the trade before launching her own independent export operation.
Today, Edmealem Coffee carries that founding vision into every shipment, every relationship, and every cup.
