ABOUT US....
Meaning of Dulmin:
Dulmin evokes Dilmun, an ancient Semitic-speaking city-state centered on modern-day Bahrain, symbolizing prosperity, trade, and the mingling of fresh and salt waters as described in Sumerian myths. This name reflects the company’s commitment to premium coffee trading, connecting ancient routes of exchange with today’s global coffee markets.
Company History:
Founded with inspiration from Dilmun’s trading legacy, Dulmin Coffee began as a visionary venture to source and distribute exceptional beans from Ethiopia’s highlands to Arabian ports and beyond. The company traces its roots to passionate traders who bridged traditional coffee paths, much like Dilmun’s ships carrying goods from distant lands around 2300 BC. Today, Dulmin upholds this heritage by fostering sustainable partnerships with growers in key regions.
Coffee's Linked History:
Coffee originated in Ethiopia’s wild plants before spreading via Yemen in the 15th century, aligning with Dilmun’s ancient role as a gateway for exotic goods from Africa and Asia. Ottoman traders later popularized it through Istanbul, echoing Dilmun’s influence on Mesopotamian commerce, turning beans into a global commodity by the 17th century. Dulmin honors this journey by specializing in high-quality arabica varieties tied to these historic trade corridors.
