Stop sourcing Ethiopia by introduction.
Membership opens the Buyers Guide — the whole of Ethiopian coffee in one view, every lot behind a verified member, matched to what you buy and connected to the exporter who holds it.
The atlas you have been reading, with the coffee attached.
The public atlas shows you the sixteen coffee areas and what each one tastes like. The Buyers Guide is the same map with live supply behind it — who has what, this season, at what grade, already cleared.
What exists, right now
Lots our members are actually holding, with the grade recorded at intake and the plot behind it on record. A directory tells you who exists. This tells you who has it.
Ranked against what you buy
Tell the guide your flavour, grade, origin, process, volume, terms and compliance once. Every lot in Ethiopia is scored against it and the closest fit comes to the top, with the reason it matched.
Straight to the exporter
When a match is worth having, the guide opens a line between you and the member holding the lot — inside the platform, with the documentation already attached.
EUDR and certification first
Compliance is a hard filter, not a footnote. Anything that cannot satisfy your market never reaches your shortlist, so you are not clearing paperwork after you have committed.
Four things, once.
Set it when you join and it stands until you change it. Everything after that is the platform working against it.
What it should taste like
Flavour notes, minimum cup score, grade target, body and acidity.
Where it should come from
Zone, area, sub-origin or washing station, process, altitude band and variety.
What the deal looks like
Volume, target price band, packaging, incoterms and shipping window.
What it must satisfy
EUDR traceability level, certifications, and whether you need samples first.
The guide is only as good as the members behind it.
Every lot in it belongs to a member we verify, graded at intake, with compliance we hold centrally. That is what makes a match an offer rather than a lead — and why the guide sits behind membership rather than in front of it.
