Ethiopian Green Coffee for American Specialty Roasters
We supply Q-graded, single-origin Ethiopian arabica directly to specialty roasters across the United States. Every lot is FDA-compliant, fully traceable, and available with USDA Organic certification for roasters who demand verified provenance.
Direct Answer: Speciality Arabica exports FDA-compliant, USDA organic-eligible green coffee from Ethiopia's top highland regions—Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, and Harrar—directly to US specialty roasters via FOB Djibouti or CIF to any US port.
Why Do American Roasters Choose Ethiopian Arabica?
The US specialty coffee market is the world's largest, valued at over $48 billion. American consumers increasingly seek single-origin, traceable coffees with distinctive flavor profiles. Ethiopian heirloom varietals—grown at 1,800–2,200m altitude—deliver the bright acidity, floral aromatics, and complex fruit notes that third-wave roasters and discerning consumers demand.

How to Import Ethiopian Coffee into the United States
Importing green coffee into the US requires compliance with FDA registration, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) documentation, and phytosanitary certificates from Ethiopia's origin authority. We handle the export documentation from Addis Ababa through Djibouti port, while your licensed customs broker clears the shipment at the US port of entry.
