Ethiopia's Precision-Grade Export House.
We sell exclusively to roasters, importers, and commodity traders who understand the difference that origin traceability, correct processing, and Q Grader-cupped quality control make to the final cup.
Ancient Origin.
Contemporary Precision.
Danka Coffee Export PLC sources and exports Grade 1 and Grade 5 raw, unroasted green coffee beans directly from Ethiopia's most iconic growing regions: Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, Jimma, and Limu.
Every lot we export is cupped before it ships. Every lot is fully documented — region, cooperative, harvest season, lot number, processing method, and Q Score — so your team has everything needed for compliance, marketing, and quality assurance.
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. It is where Coffea arabica was first discovered and it remains the gold standard against which all other arabica origins are measured.
Iconic Origins
Sourcing directly from the highlands that define specialty coffee.
Yirgacheffe
1,700–2,200m | SNNPR
Floral, jasmine, bergamot, lemon, bright citrus
The world's most celebrated washed coffee origin. Yirgacheffe Grade 1 washed lots are benchmark-quality for specialty roasters globally. The region's high altitude, red clay soils, and cool temperatures produce unrivalled aromatic complexity.
Sidama / Sidamo
1,400–2,200m | Sidama Region
Bright citrus, stone fruit, clean finish
Consistent, reliable, and globally respected. Sidama washed and natural lots offer versatility across specialty and commercial applications. A trusted origin for roasters requiring consistent cup quality season after season.
Guji
1,800–2,400m | Oromia
Blueberry, red wine, bold fruit, deep complexity
The rising star of Ethiopian naturals. Guji's exceptional altitude, rich volcanic soils, and meticulous natural processing produce intensely fruit-forward lots that command premium pricing and consistent demand from third-wave roasters worldwide.
Jimma / Kaffa
1,400–1,800m | Oromia
Earthy, chocolate, spice, deep body
Home of Ethiopia's wild forest coffee. Jimma lots offer exceptional value for commercial blends and medium-roast espresso applications. The Kaffa forest is recognised as the genetic origin of all arabica coffee — one of the most biodiverse coffee ecosystems on Earth.
Processing Methods
We oversee precision processing at origin to ensure the intrinsic qualities of the cherry are preserved and highlighted.
Washed / Wet
Bright · Clean · Floral · Citrus · Jasmine
Washed Ethiopian coffee undergoes precise fermentation and careful washing to produce the sparkling clarity and intense aromatic complexity that Yirgacheffe and Sidama are world-famous for. The process removes all fruit matter before drying, resulting in a transparent cup that fully expresses the terroir of each growing region.
Available
Grade 1 | Grade 2
Ideal For
Specialty roasters, single-origin filter, espresso blends requiring brightness and clarity.
Natural / Sun-Dried
Berry · Stone Fruit · Wine · Full Body
Ethiopian naturals are dried whole on raised African drying beds under the open highland sun, with the entire coffee cherry intact. This extended contact between fruit and seed produces the rich, complex, fruit-forward cup profiles that Ethiopian naturals — particularly from Guji and Jimma — are famous for in specialty coffee circles worldwide.
Available
Grade 1 | Grade 2 | Grade 3
Ideal For
Specialty roasters, single-origin filter, espresso blends requiring brightness and clarity.
Honey / Semi-Washed
Balanced · Sweet · Caramel · Medium Body
Honey-processed Ethiopian coffee is a bridge between washed precision and natural complexity. A controlled portion of the fruit mucilage is retained on the bean during drying, adding natural sweetness, body, and depth without the full fruit intensity of a natural. A growing specialty category with rising demand from European and Asian.
