Over the next weeks, we’re hitting the road across the US to host a series of exciting cupping events. With the first containers leaving Addis and the port of Djibouti and top high-elevation regions submitting their best stocklots, this is the perfect time to explore a wide range of coffees for every need—from outstanding microlots to FCL volumes. Don’t miss the opportunity to secure coffees tailored to your needs—stay tuned for updates on upcoming dates and locations!
Trabocca is importing the finest coffees from Ethiopia for over 20 years. In origin, we are known for our high-level protocols and ethical sourcing codes, but also cherished as one of the importers that since its beginning has been driving innovation consistently. Find out more about our sourcing and available offers here. Below you will find an overview of all coffees that we will be sharing during the upcoming US New Crop Tour. Please be aware that we are still in Prebooking phase and can offer many more coffees. So, feel free to reach out to one of our traders, in case you are searching for something specific.
On our MyTrabocca spot list you will only find a fraction of the Ethiopian coffees you can buy and roast. Most of the coffees we are trading directly with roasters and green buyers. While first stock lot samples (coffees that are processed and available in the warehouse) become available, you will have the best access to all coffees Ethiopia has to offer. Whereas importer spot lists only represent a small curation of the country’s offerings and often with limited availability. Each year, some of the best lots of various locations are gone before they ever reach these lists. This is your opportunity to find a unique supply chain that is tailored to your exact needs.
Pre-booking is your opportunity to access all available coffees of the harvest. Instead of relying on sourcing your coffees from our curated spot list, you will let us know your tailored needs in advance. Each season, we cup thousands of samples, and with your preferences in mind, we can match you with the best available offers. This allows you to plan ahead, find unique supply chains, and secure the best quality coffees.
