What is Ethio Gabana?

Premium coffee, shared value with the people who grow it

Gabana is named after a mountain in Djima Zone, Limmu Kossa woreda, in the western part of Oromia, Ethiopia. The mountain is well known for its Limmu coffee, regarded as premium and specialty gourmet coffee.

We work closely with trusted suppliers and farmers in each region to produce the most sought-after, top-grade varietals Ethiopia has to offer, such as Sidama, Limmu and Lekempti.

Our group

Born from a single coffee story. Built into a group.

Gabana is a proud sister company of Horra Corporate Group, a leading Ethiopian business group with a growing presence across coffee, packaging, real estate, electric mobility and technology.

It began with one coffee trading business and a simple principle: create lasting value, the right way. Gabana carries that heritage into the world of specialty coffee, bringing Ethiopia's most celebrated lots to the world's cups, and sharing the value with the people who grow them.
