What we trade

Tea and coffee, at origin

Our group buys at origin in East Africa and sells as a single UAE contracting party. Buyers hold one relationship; sourcing, grading, quality control and export are handled for them.

Tea

Black CTC & orthodox

East African black tea across commercial and specialty grades, drawn from high-altitude growing and available year-round.

Coffee

At origin

We buy on the floor, not from a warehouse

Most Gulf suppliers buy imported stock and resell it from a Dubai warehouse. Our tea and coffee is bought at the auction itself, at origin — which removes an intermediary margin and means first sight of the crop rather than what is left of it.

Sourcing

Straight from the auction floor

Lots are taken at the Mombasa Tea Auction and the Nairobi Coffee Exchange through licensed buying channels at origin, and tasted against your specification before bidding — not selected afterwards from a trader's warehouse stock.

Traceability

Lot to factory

Every purchase carries an invoice and lot number traceable to the producing factory, cooperative or estate, with grade and sale date. The traceability sheet travels with your shipping documents.

Export

Handled at source

KEPHIS phytosanitary certification, export documentation and container consolidation are completed in Kenya before loading. Goods move straight from Mombasa to your port.

How we work

One contract, origin to destination

Specifications are matched to available lots and confirmed by sample before any contract is signed.

01 — Contract

Dubai entity

You contract with one licensed UAE company, under terms international buyers already work with. Every contract is negotiated, concluded and signed in Dubai by an authorised signatory of the UAE company.

02 — Quality

Approved by sample

Samples are dispatched against your specification. Nothing ships without your approval on the cup.

03 — Delivery

Direct from Mombasa

Goods move straight from origin to your port. One partner, no double handling.
