Founded in 1972, Addis Exporter pioneered modern coffee export business in Ethiopia. It is the oldest coffee exporting company in the country who has been around operating coffee businesses for almost 50 years now. Over the past several years, Addis Exporter has capitalized a great deal of knowledge and experience that helped the company to better define core values of their coffee business: high quality, traceability, transparency, genuine
farmer relationship and sustainability. With a very complex nature and unstable changes in the Ethiopian coffee industry, it has not been an easy move for coffee exporters to update their coffee sourcing approaches in accordance with new coffee marketing and quality control policies and regulations. It was a
very recent history that the majority of Ethiopian coffee lots used to be traded only through the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange (ECX) marketing platform. But since 2017, the Ethiopian coffee industry has been more liberalized which has been favoring the existence of various
flexible and legal coffee sourcing and marketing mechanisms. The new policy is encouraging several investors to join the coffee export business and establish their own coffee washing station facilities. In 2019, Addis Exporter established a coffee washing station called Telila coffee washing station. The facility is located in Kercho Anderacha village of Gera county, one of the highland coffee growing areas in Ethiopia. For the sake of marketing and grading purposes, Gera is categorized under Limu coffee. However, as compared to other localities in the Jimma zone, Gera is exceptionally characterized by
unique coffee varieties, semi forest coffee production system and high altitude farms.
