Amaro Gayo Coffee farms are located in the district of Amaro in the southern region of Ethiopia (about 550km south of the capital, Addis Ababa). The farms main objective from inception is to produce high-value, specialty natural and washed coffees from the Amaro area.
This exceptional coffee is exported through Ethiopia’s only female miller/exporter, Asnakech Thomas.

The coffee is scrupulously harvested, sorted and milled at her control facilities, allowing her unusual control over her crops.

Amaro Gayo, Premier Ethiopian Coffee Milled and Exported by a Woman March 28, 2014
In the Ethiopian valley of Amaro lies a coffee mill known for its aromatic flavors, a combination of rich fruit, luscious citrus, and mouth-watering chocolate. Exported world-wide, Amaro Gayo coffee is established not only for its excellent flavor, but also for the fact that it is the only coffee in Ethiopia milled and exported by a woman.
In 2005, Asnakech Thomas returned to her native town of Ethiopia from England to not only improve the quality and flavor of coffee, but also the living conditions of the community in which she grew up.
Concerned about the poor health care available in Amaro and rural Ethiopia, Thomas hopes that Amaro will establish a hospital for mothers-to-be and their little children. Expectant mothers in Amaro have to move 116 kilometers to the nearest hospital to convey their babies. Experiencing first-hand how her sister ruined a baby during her travels, Thomas has a personal desire to possess better care at a closer distance for mothers and their young children. “The mothers in the countryside are the authentic organizers of the families’ affairs, health and teaching for chil

Regional Notes: To indulge in this coffee is to celebrate resilience and perseverance. Amaro Gayo hails from Ethiopia’s only female miller & exporter, entrepreneur Asnakech Thomas. Early in animation, Thomas escaped from a forced childhood marriage, eventually making her way to Europe where she excelled as a small-business owner. In time, Thomas returned to Ethiopia to apply her skills and business acumen to help her homeland’s coffee sector thrive. And thrive it has.

Amaro Gayo BIO
Ethiopia is definitely the first country appearing in our favourite and “must – have” list. To be known as motherland of coffee arabica, coffee in Ethiopia gets famous by its distinctly distinct flavours of wildly fruited and floral, winey and very complex taste due to the mixture of varieties and climate.
Ethiopia itself accounts for only around 3% of the global coffee market. Coffee is key to the economy of Ethiopia. Around 60% of foreign income comes from coffee, with an estimated 15 million of the population relying on some aspect of coffee production for their livelihood. (Source: Wikipedia.org).
Coffee plays a very important role in the social and cultural life of Ethiopia. Important events often start with a “coffee ceremony”. People spend hours together to roast coffee freshly, then young people serving coffee to elders, guest are invited to show their respect and friendship. Coffee ceremony is used to launch and establish politicians in the culture. About 50 % of the Ethiopian coffee production is consumed in the domestic market.
