About Me:
I’m the founder of Lhute Coffee, a company rooted in a passion for sourcing exceptional specialty coffee. With a strong background in operations and supply chain, I’ve worked across global industries and now apply that experience to building direct, transparent relationships with coffee producers and roasters. I’m particularly focused on quality, traceability, and fostering long-term trade partnerships in key coffee markets.
About My Company:
Lhute Coffee is a specialty green coffee importer serving roasters in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. We source high-quality Arabica beans directly from farms across Latin America, East Africa, and Southeast Asia including Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Costa Rica. Our mission is to connect roasters with traceable, farm-specific coffees while simplifying logistics and providing flexible sampling and support. Lhute operates warehouses in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Dubai) and Oakland, CA, and is expanding rapidly across key coffee hubs.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The coffee industry brings together global communities from farmers to roasters to consumers all connected by quality, craftsmanship, and shared passion. I enjoy being part of a value chain that celebrates culture, traceability, and human connection.
