Who We Are
Tariku Coffee is a privately owned company, proudly established in 2011, with a passion for sharing Ethiopia’s finest Sidama coffee with the world. We specialize in exporting 100% organic Arabica coffee, cultivated in the pristine highlands of the Sidama Regional State and West Arsi, Oromia.
Our Farms
Our farms are located in Bensa (Sidama) and Werka (West Arsi), thriving at elevations of 1,993 to 2,150 meters above sea level. This unique altitude, combined with traditional organic practices, produces exceptionally high-grade beans with rich, distinctive flavors.
Achievements
Recognized globally as Sidama Coffee, beans from these regions are not just a product — they are a heritage. For generations, organic coffee farming has been an integral part of our culture, and at Tariku Coffee, we are proud to continue this tradition while bringing its excellence to the international market.**
Fairchain
At Tariku Coffee, we believe that coffee should create value for everyone along the journey — from the farmer to the consumer. That’s why we embrace the principles of the Fair Chain. Unlike traditional coffee trade, where most of the profit remains abroad, our model ensures that value is shared more equally across the supply chain. We cultivate, process, and export directly from our own farms and local partners, giving farmers fairer prices and more opportunities to grow.
