Yemeni coffee is a scarce, seasonal product. Treating it like a commodity line leads to disappointment on both sides, so we work with a simple principle: agree the volume early, cup before you commit, and hold stock in Switzerland against the agreement.
Who we supply
- Roasteries buying green in separated lots, seasonally or under contract.
- Cafés and restaurants buying roasted coffee on a standing delivery.
- Hotels and event caterers needing a distinctive single origin.
- Retailers and delicatessens, neutral or own-label.
- Distributors outside Switzerland, in the EU and beyond.
How a wholesale relationship works
- You tell us the profile you need, the annual volume and your delivery rhythm.
- We send samples from the lots that actually fit — with crop year, moisture and defect data.
- You cup and choose. We quote in writing, with the offer valid for a stated period.
- We contract the volume and hold it in a Swiss warehouse, releasing on your call-off schedule.
- Before each new harvest we come back to you with what is coming, so you can plan the menu rather than react to it.

Why there is no price list
Because there is no stable price. A Yemeni lot is quoted against the harvest it came from, the freight it took to arrive and the exchange rate on the day. A published number would be out of date within weeks and would misprice half the lots in the warehouse. What we can do is quote quickly, quote in writing and hold the quote for a defined period.
