Direct Trade Ethiopian Coffee
Direct Trade Ethiopian Coffee
"Direct trade" means sourcing coffee without passing through the layers of brokers that most green coffee travels through before reaching a roaster. Buna Utopia imports directly from Ethiopia rather than purchasing pre-imported lots.
What Direct Trade Means in Practice Here
- We source and import ourselves rather than buying from a US green coffee broker
- Region, grade, and process information stays attached to the coffee
- Pricing reflects fewer intermediary markups
