About

A bridge between two coffee cultures — built on trust.

Based in Düsseldorf with Ethiopian origin and German commercial education, I represent multiple German roasteries on the ground in Ethiopia. I am not a coffee seller — I am your independent representative, advocating for your quality, transparency and timeline.
