About
About Company
Our journey is not just about coffee—it’s about legacy, passion, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. For over 36 years, our family has been deeply intertwined with the heart of Ethiopia’s coffee culture, working hand-in-hand with farmers who have perfected their craft for generations. From the misty highlands of Guji to the bustling heart of Addis Ababa, our roots run deep, ensuring that every bean we touch tells a story of heritage, dedication, and uncompromising quality.
We are more than just importers; we are stewards of Ethiopia’s most treasured gift to the world—coffee. Our vertically integrated approach means that we don’t just source coffee; we nurture it. From our own wet mill in Guji, where cherries are meticulously processed, to our export plant in Addis Ababa, where only the finest beans are selected, every step of our process is infused with care and expertise. We believe that great coffee isn’t just grown—it’s cultivated with intention, respect, and an intimate knowledge of the land.
To bridge the gap between Ethiopian tradition and North American coffee culture, we established our headquarters and warehouse in Atlanta, Georgia. This strategic move ensures that our premium, traceable beans arrive in the hands of roasters with the same freshness and integrity as when they left Ethiopian soil. Our direct relationships with Ethiopia’s top specialty coffee producers give us unparalleled access to some of the world’s most exquisite beans—each one a reflection of the country’s rich biodiversity and deep-rooted coffee heritage.
At Highland Heritage Coffee, we are more than a brand—we are a movement. A movement that honors the farmers, the land, and the centuries-old Ethiopian coffee legacy. We are committed to bringing you not just coffee, but an experience: the aroma of highland mornings, the taste of generations of expertise, and the warmth of a tradition that spans continents.
This is our story. And with every sip, it becomes yours.
