Origins
Two stations, one mill, five regions.
Every lot begins at a named place: two washing stations we run, a buying post for parchment, the dry mill in Addis Ababa, and the cupping lab where the score is signed. The places are the traceability.
The route out
From the mill to the sea.
Every export lot travels the same road: sealed at the Akaki Kality mill, railed from Modjo, and loaded at Djibouti. The line stays the same so the milestones stay readable.
Addis Ababa → Djibouti.
Container stuffed and weighed at the mill, gate-in at the Modjo dry port, then the rail to Djibouti where the vessel takes over. Booking, gate-in, departure and arrival are each a written milestone on the buyer's account.
Five regions
Where the coffee is grown.
Adey buys from five growing regions. Two carry an Adey washing station, so the processing record comes with the lot rather than being reconstructed afterwards.
The other door
Not coffee?
Coffee is the one thing we hold ourselves. Everything else — sesame, niger seed, pulses, hides, stone, timber, packaged goods — we source to your specification. Tell us the grade, the quantity and the destination, and we confirm in writing what we can get and when.
