Our story

Where it began.

Boon goes back to Harar, one of the first cities in the world to trade coffee. Harari families have grown it in the hills around the city for centuries, and Orit's grandparents were among them. In their house, coffee was part of every day.

Orit brought that with her. She started Boon because she wanted other people to drink coffee this good. Today that means the hotels and cafés we supply, the people who order from us, and anyone who sits down in one of our cafés.

Our Ethiopian coffees come from Harar, Yirgacheffe, Sidamo and Guji, and we've added a handful of origins from further afield. Our team (every one of them as obsessed with coffee as we are) roasts it all fresh here in the UAE on state-of-the-art equipment. That way the coffee in your cup tastes the way we wanted it to when we chose the beans.

“Good coffee brings people together. Great coffee makes them come back.”

Orit Mohammed, Founder

The roast

Roasted with care.

It all starts with the bean. Every bean we roast is 100% Arabica, from the Ethiopian origins close to our heart to select farms around the world, and each one asks for something different.

Our roasters get to know every origin, adjusting each roast until its aroma and flavour are just right, and keeping it that way batch after batch. There’s no secret formula. It’s simply a love of great coffee and the patience to get it right.

What drives us

Our vision

To show the world how beautiful coffee can be. From Ethiopia, where coffee was born, to the finest origins across the globe, we want every cup to reveal the character of the land and the people who grew it.

Our mission

As roasters, we search for exceptional beans and roast each one to bring out its true flavour. Whether you enjoy it at home, in one of our cafés or at a hotel we supply, we want every cup to show you what great coffee really tastes like.

Giving back

Helping Hands

“As an Ethiopian, giving back is something I take very seriously. It’s an obligation, not a choice. It started long before Boon, and it has been at the core of everything I’ve ever built.”

Orit Mohammed, Founder

That belief guides how we work. We stay close to the farming communities who grow our coffee, make sure they are paid fairly, and invest in education to open doors for the next generation.
