ETHIOPIA | Abana Estate | Anderacha | Heirloom | Washed

About this coffee

Abana Estate is a family-owned business, started as the result of a passion for coffee and community. Founded by Peter Omran, and now managed by his sons, Michael and Chris, the name Abana translates to “our fathers” (Arabic), to pay homage to the roots, heritage, and tradition of wild grown coffee that traces to the heart of Ethiopia. For the better part of 25 years, Peter was involved in humanitarian aid and development projects in poverty-stricken areas of the Middle East and Africa. At Abana Estate he’s continued that work, implementing many outreach projects designed to help the local community around the farm. The nearby town of Gera is the largest recipient of Abana’s aid efforts, that include allocating funds for the newly built pre-school, providing supplies for over 1,500 medical treatments, and building a community sports field. This coffee comes from the Anderacha section of the farm. The name Anderacha comes from a river that borders the farm. This river gets very large during the rainy season and is a source of life and nutrients for the community and ecosystem. Abana Estate utilizes water recycling wet mill, that significantly reduces wastewater – this washed lot offers all the black tea, citrus, and stone fruit characteristics of a classic washed Ethiopian coffee.
