02Why Zoebar

What does Zoebar supply?

Zoebar supplies washed and natural Ethiopian Arabica green coffee from Amaro (Koore Zone), Ethiopia, grown at 1,700–1,800 metres above sea level, harvested September to December and processed at Zoebar's own washing station in Amaro.

A single origin, in depth

Our current coffee program is centered on Amaro, allowing us to build deeper knowledge of the farms, processing practices, season and people behind each lot.

A station we own

Zoebar Business Group owns the washing station in Amaro, Ethiopia, so processing is controlled rather than bought in.

Traceability that resolves

Our traceability system is built around lot-level records covering origin, processing, quality and shipment. Figures that vary by lot are confirmed per lot and published once confirmed, never estimated.

Buyers who value consistency

Specialty roasters, family-owned coffee companies and importers building dependable Ethiopian sourcing.

03The origin

Amaro, Ethiopia

Amaro is an administrative zone in Ethiopia, recently named as Koore Zone, and is not administratively part of the Sidama Region. In international coffee markets, coffee from Amaro is commonly presented within the broader Sidama coffee category.

04The washing station

Processing with direct oversight.

Zoebar Ethiopia is established in Ethiopia. Zoebar Business Group owns the washing station in Amaro, Ethiopia directly, which is what makes the process record on a lot a fact rather than a claim.
