Planet Bean became the first Canadian coffee company to sign to the Ethiopian Trademark agreement last year.

"Tadesse Meskela"
Tadesse has become something of an international celebrity since being featured in the documentary Black Gold |
Planet Bean Signs Trade marking and Licensing Agreement with Ethiopia and becomes the first Canadian coffee company to become a licensed distributor of Ethiopia's trademarked coffees. Planet Bean, a Canadian pioneer fair trade coffee roaster joins the growing network of licensed distributors of Ethiopia's trademarked coffees.
Planet Bean is a company that buys and roasts only 100% certified fair trade coffees. It has been selling, distributing and serving fair trade coffee for a decade in Guelph, Ontario. The company has been purchasing Ethiopian coffees from the OROMIA Coffee Farmers Union since 2002. | |
The Ethiopian fine coffees it roasts include Yirgachaffe, Harar and Sidamo, which are some of the company's top sellers. It plans to increase its current quantity of these trademarked coffees.
Bill Barrett, one of the Planet Bean cooperative members stated, "The Ethiopians have been growing and drinking coffee longer than anyone on earth. I think they should control the rights to their own coffee origins. This agreement is consistent with our company's ethical approach, and it recognizes the excellence and uniqueness of Ethiopian coffees." (read more)
