Light RoastThe Origins Map
Every cup on earth starts here.
Every arabica bean on earth traces back to the Ethiopian highlands. Begin in the birthplace of coffee, meet the eight regions that made it famous, then follow the bean across Africa and around the world.
The Coffee Belt · Africa
Every Addisuna roast is single origin: one region, one harvest, one story in the bag.
Taste the OriginA Letter From Our FoundersWe are Izaiah and Daniel. Here is why we started Addisuna, in our own words. Read the Founder's Letter

Two students, one promise.
We started Addisuna as two students who believed a cup of coffee could carry more than caffeine. It could carry a place, a people, and a purpose.
Coffee was born in Ethiopia, and so was the heart of this company. Every bag we roast in South Bend traces back to a single farm and a single conviction: that how we serve people matters as much as what we serve them. Every bag goes home to Ethiopia as pens, notebooks, and school uniforms for the students we sponsor, because we are in this for the people, not the profit.
We do not have all of it figured out yet. But we have a promise, and a faith that keeps us honest to it: every bag funds a student's learning in Ethiopia. Thank you for being part of the story. Pour a cup, and you are already building futures with us.

The Mission
Every bag funds a student's learning in Ethiopia, from pens and notebooks to an entire school year.
→What your coffee does
One bag of coffee. Real things in a student’s hands.
The Addisuna Youth Foundation sponsors 18 students in Ethiopia this school year. Here is what the gift from a single bag buys, on its own:
-
12 pens
1 bag
-
5 notebooks
1 bag
-
2 sanitary pads
1 bag
-
1 uniform top
4 bags
-
1 uniform bottom
4 bags
-
1 school backpack
6 bags
An entire school year
About 19 bags cover one student’s entire school year: uniform, backpack, notebooks, pens, and more.
Every bag gives $2.30 to the Addisuna Youth Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3). Each figure is what that gift buys at what these supplies cost our students in Ethiopia this school year.
This school year
339 bags sponsor all 18 students.
That is every uniform, backpack, notebook, and pen for the whole year. The school year has just begun, and every bag gets us closer.
