ABOUT OUR COMPANY

Ethiopian green coffee, with no middlemen between origin and your roastery.

We buy, grade and ship Ethiopian green coffee and sell it directly to Russian roasters and importers, with no middlemen between origin and your roastery.

In Ethiopia, Aklil is responsible for origin and quality; in Moscow, Damien Blanke works with buyers; Hamel Getachew links both sides and runs the contracts. You have one Russian-speaking contact, from sample to the container's arrival in St Petersburg.
