five hands, one root.

በእህትbe-heyt

BEHET began with family. A name that holds our shared ownership, our Ethiopian roots, and the promise that this work belongs to all of us.

From the people at origin to the roasters we work with, we believe good coffee starts with a closer connection.

Where does our
coffee come from?

We supply traceable Ethiopian coffee from Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, Guji, and Limu. Our washing stations in Yirgacheffe and Sidamo bring us closer to each lot from the start.

Our Sidamo program includes Rainforest Alliance and organic-certified coffees, supported by strong relationships across Ethiopia's most important coffee-growing regions.
