About Us
Welcome to Mirit’i Coffee!
Our journey began with our founder and CEO, Jim Lemmons, who traveled to over 70 countries, sampling coffee from around the globe. After tasting countless brews, Jim discovered that Ethiopia—the birthplace of coffee—offered the most exceptional flavors. Inspired by this revelation, he decided to import the finest Ethiopian coffee to the United States in 2020.
Our Mission and Values
At Mirit’i Coffee, we are driven by our commitment to quality, service, affordability, and supply chain sustainability. We believe that every cup of coffee should not only taste great but also support sustainable practices that benefit communities and the environment.
Our Products
We specialize in three distinct types of Ethiopian coffee beans: Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, and Guji. Customers can choose from natural green beans or have them roasted and ground to their preference, ensuring a personalized coffee experience.
Sourcing and Quality
Our coffee is sourced through an exporter dedicated to sustainability. We focus on creating a resilient supply chain—from crop to cup—while addressing challenges such as climate change and socioeconomic conditions to ensure lasting prosperity for coffee-growing communities.
