The Story of Rising Cub

A little About Us

Rising Cub Coffee Roasters is an Ethiopian specialty coffee company with a global footprint and a mission-driven heart. Formerly known as Black Lion Organic Coffee, our legacy began in 2008 as one of Ethiopia’s most trusted exporters of premium green coffee to Europe and the Middle East. In 2024, we rebranded as Rising Cub to reflect a new era—one of bold growth, generational legacy, and deeper impact.

Our passion for excellence continues to grow through expanded menus, skilled barista training, and seasonal specials — making every cup a celebration of Ethiopian coffee culture

Explore Our Roots

Impact is Built-In, Not Tacked On

Every bag of coffee supports school supplies, farmer training, and women’s empowerment initiatives — no charity fluff, just real reinvestment.

Global Vibe. Local Roots

With operations in Ethiopia, Norway, the U.S., and the UAE, we’re grounded locally and scaling globally.

Africa’s Middle Class is Booming — And So Are We

Rising Cub is built for the new African consumer: quality-driven, design-conscious, and impact-minded.

Reinvesting in the Source

A portion of every sale goes back into the communities that grow the beans — not middlemen or corporate margins
