Our Story
Bridging continents through exceptional coffee and meaningful relationships
Who We Are
Origin Bean was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: that the world's finest coffee deserves a direct path from the hands that grow it to the roasters who perfect it.
Rooted in Ethiopia—the birthplace of coffee—and connected to North America's thriving specialty coffee scene, we serve as more than a trading company. We're a bridge between cultures, a champion of quality, and an advocate for fairness at every stage of the coffee journey.
Our team brings together deep knowledge of Ethiopian coffee traditions with modern understanding of specialty roasting needs. We work directly with growers in renowned regions like Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, and Limu—ensuring traceability, quality control, and sustainable practices from farm to port.
