Our Story
Rooted in Ethiopia’s coffee heartland, we craft every bean with skill, passion, and respect for tradition from seedling to processing.
Nestled along the slopes of Mount Anno
ANNO Coffee brings you the finest Ethiopian coffee from the hills of Anno, where tradition meets excellence. Our logo represents our identity—coffee bean and mountain—symbolizing our commitment to quality and our enduring origins.
Origin of Excellence
From the highlands of Anno in Ethiopia's Guji Zone, a region where nature thrives in harmony and coffee is nurtured with deep respect for the land.
Immeasurable Experience
From seedling farm to processing for commercial consumption, we have amassed immeasurable experience with Ethiopian green coffee production.
Quality & Tradition
Sourced from Ethiopia's renowned coffee highlands, we bring you the pure, authentic taste of coffee from its birthplace where tradition, altitude, and craftsmanship meet in every bean.
A Family Legacy Built on Excellence
For years, we have been importing the finest green coffee beans from Ethiopia to the United States. Our journey began with a simple dream—to share the incredible coffee from our homeland with coffee lovers across America.
As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of relationships and trust. We work directly with farmers in Ethiopia’s most renowned coffee regions—Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Guji—building partnerships that span generations.
Our commitment goes beyond business. We ensure that every farmer we work with is fairly compensated and that sustainable farming practices are maintained. This is not just about coffee—it is about preserving a way of life and supporting communities.
The Birthplace of Coffee
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee itself. Legend tells of Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder who discovered coffee over 1,500 years ago when he noticed his goats becoming energetic after eating coffee cherries.
Today, coffee remains deeply woven into Ethiopian culture. The traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a symbol of hospitality and friendship, passed down through countless generations.
At Anno Coffee, we honor this incredible heritage by ensuring that every bean we import represents the very best of Ethiopian coffee tradition, quality, and craftsmanship.
