What is Zoebar Business Group?
Zoebar Business Group FZE LLC is a UAE-registered international trading company connecting Ethiopia and international markets. Its flagship focus is Ethiopian Arabica green coffee from Amaro, recently named as Koore Zone, Ethiopia. Zoebar Ethiopia is established in Ethiopia, and Zoebar Business Group owns the company's washing station in Amaro.
The promise is three words (origin. quality. trust.) and they are meant in order. Origin comes first because everything downstream depends on it. Quality is what the origin makes possible. Trust is what the two produce when they are documented rather than asserted.
Coffee is the flagship, not the whole company. But it is where the standard is set: if the coffee record holds up to a buyer checking it against the sack in front of them, everything else Zoebar does can be held to the same test.
The promise, in order
Origin. Quality. Trust.
Origin
Coffee bought at the point it is grown and processed, not several hands downstream. Zoebar Business Group owns the washing station in Amaro, Ethiopia, which is what makes an origin claim checkable rather than repeated.
The originQuality
Quality is decided at intake, sorting and drying, and only recorded at the grading table. Controlling those stages is what makes the eventual specification meaningful.
How quality is assessedTrust
Every published figure is a confirmed figure. Where a fact has not been verified, this site says so rather than filling the gap with a plausible number.
How traceability worksTwo entities, one supply chain.
Zoebar Business Group FZE LLC is registered in the United Arab Emirates and operates as an international trading company connecting Ethiopia and international markets. A second entity, Zoebar Ethiopia, is established in Ethiopia. Zoebar Business Group owns the washing station in Amaro, Ethiopia directly.

Buyers who ask for the record.
The site is built for buyers who check. Everything on it, the specification tables, the lot record, the guides, is designed to be read sceptically rather than skimmed.

Eden Mengistu.
Eden Mengistu brings a background in monitoring, evaluation, research and learning to the way Zoebar approaches coffee and international trade. After years working in learning- and evidence-focused organizations, she entered the coffee business with a strong belief that commercial success should be built on knowledge, relationships, transparency and continuous improvement.
Through Zoebar, Eden is building a business that stays close to origin: learning directly from producers, understanding how coffee is grown and processed, and developing transparent relationships with international buyers.
Always learning. Always improving.
Beyond the sack.
Green coffee in container volumes is the flagship, and it sets the standard the rest of the company is held to. It is not the whole intent. An ecommerce arm is in development, to carry Zoebar coffee to buyers whose volumes sit below a container without asking them to accept a thinner record of where it came from.
No catalogue, pricing or launch date is confirmed yet, so none is published here. The traceability that applies to a twenty-tonne lot is the same traceability that will apply to a single bag.
