Ethiopia is not just the birthplace of coffee it is a land where coffee is life itself. From the mist-covered highlands to the bustling city cafés, it is woven into the nation’s culture, hospitality, and heritage. For over a thousand years, Ethiopians have cultivated, brewed, and shared coffee as a symbol of friendship and community, its aroma a part of daily life, its taste a reminder of deep traditions, and its history a gift to the world.
At Cavon Coffee, we are proud to carry this legacy forward through two remarkable brands, Tarara Coffee and Adwa Coffee, both crafted by the renowned Bagresh family. With roots in the trade dating back to the 1940s, the family’s journey spans four generations, each passing down not only their skills but also their deep respect for the land and the coffee it produces. Today, their dedication and passion have earned a reputation, in Ethiopia and beyond, for coffee of truly exceptional quality.
From Seed to Cup — 100% Ethiopian
At Cavon Coffee, every bean’s story begins and ends in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee and the heart of our craft. From the moment a seed is planted in the rich, fertile highland soil to the final roast that seals in its character, every step is carried out with care, precision, and respect for tradition.
Most of our beans are grown on our own lush farms, where we oversee every detail to ensure exceptional quality from seed to cup.
We exclusively offer 100% pure Arabica beans, prized worldwide for their bright, vibrant flavor, enticing complexity, and smooth, lingering finish. Our careful processing and artisan roasting preserve the natural integrity of the bean, allowing the unique character of each harvest to shine through.
By keeping the entire journey, planting, nurturing, harvesting, processing, roasting, and packaging within Ethiopia, we protect the authenticity and soul of our homeland’s coffee. Every bag we ship is a direct link from our Ethiopian highlands to your cup, delivering a taste as fresh, pure, and unforgettable as the day it left our roastery.
National Recognition in Ethiopia
Producing coffee in Ethiopia is a source of national pride, and being recognized for excellence is no small honor. The Bagresh family stands at the forefront of this legacy, holding the title of Ethiopia’s largest exporter of roasted coffee.
For five consecutive years, they have been awarded Best Performing Roasted Coffee Exporter by the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority. In the very birthplace of coffee, such recognition is rare a testament to their unmatched consistency, dedication, and commitment to quality at every stage of the process.
Our Commitment to Fair Trade and Progress
At Cavon Coffee, we believe coffee should benefit everyone involved in its journey. That is why we are guided by fair trade principles. We ensure our Ethiopian employees receive fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect for their contribution to our success.
But our vision is even bigger we want to see countries like Ethiopia thrive through trade, not aid. By creating sustainable jobs and building stronger export markets, we aim to contribute to economic growth, stability, and independence.
Global Presence, Local Heart
Cavon Coffee operates from two key locations: our heart in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and our bridge to the world in Lyon, France. From these two hubs, we connect the rich traditions of Ethiopian coffee to coffee lovers in Europe, North America, and beyond.
