The best gift for a coffee lover is coffee they cannot find at the grocery store.

Every bag is 12 oz, every lot is traceable to its region, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
Ethiopian coffee gift ideas by who you are shopping for
For the pour-over or drip coffee fan
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Roasted Coffee ($18.99). Floral, citrus and tea-like with notes of blueberry and jasmine. Choose a light roast to keep the florals bright. Pair it with our pour-over brewing guide.
For someone who likes bold, fruity coffee
Ethiopian Guji Roasted Coffee ($18.99). A natural process coffee with blackberry, jasmine, lemon zest and stone fruit. This is the bag that changes what people think coffee can taste like.
For the espresso or French press drinker
Ethiopian Sidamo Roasted Coffee ($18.99). Berry, chocolate and citrus with a fuller body. A medium roast works well for espresso, French press and milk drinks. See our Ethiopian espresso guide.
For the home roaster
Our Ethiopian green coffee beans ($12.99 per 12 oz) are the same Grade 1 lots, unroasted. Home roasters rarely get access to direct-trade Ethiopian coffee in small amounts, which makes this a gift they will remember. Choose Guji, Yirgacheffe or Sidamo.
For someone who wants to try the Ethiopian coffee ceremony
Green beans are traditionally roasted by hand in a pan during the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, or buna. A bag of green Sidamo or Guji, plus our guide to what buna means, makes a gift with a story behind it.
The Ethiopian origin trio: our favorite coffee gift
Add one roasted bag each of Yirgacheffe, Guji and Sidamo to your cart. Three bags come to $56.97, which qualifies for free shipping, and the recipient can taste three of Ethiopia's best-known coffee regions side by side. Our Ethiopian coffee regions guide explains what makes each one different.
