Coffee's essence goes beyond a mere beverage; it is an entire journey.

At Auro Coffee, every cup begins far from the UAE, in the lush highlands of Ethiopia — the birthplace of coffee. From handpicked cherries to your cup in Abu Dhabi, each step is guided by tradition, care, and quality.

This is the story of how Ethiopian coffee reaches the UAE, and why Auro Coffee stands out in delivering an authentic coffee experience.

The Origin: Where It All Begins

Ethiopia is known worldwide for producing some of the finest coffee beans.

The secret lies in its unique conditions:

• High altitude farms
• Rich volcanic soil
• Ideal climate

These factors help develop coffee that is:

• Naturally sweet
• Fruity and floral
• Rich in aroma

The Bagersh Family Legacy

At the heart of Auro Coffee is the Bagersh family, whose coffee journey dates back to the 1940s.

After moving from Yemen to Ethiopia, they discovered the incredible potential of Ethiopian land for coffee cultivation.

With passion and dedication, they began growing premium coffee beans — focusing on:

• Quality over quantity
• Traditional farming methods
• Preserving Ethiopian coffee heritage

Today, that legacy continues through Auro Coffee, bringing authentic Ethiopian coffee to the UAE.

Coffee Sourcing in Ethiopia: Handpicked with Care

During harvest season, known locally as Buna, communities come together to handpick coffee cherries.

This process is important because:

• Only ripe cherries are selected
• Flavor quality is preserved
• Consistency improves

Unlike machine harvesting, handpicking ensures that every bean meets high standards.

This is one of the key reasons Ethiopian coffee tastes so unique. 

Traditional Processing: Where Flavor Develops

After harvesting, coffee cherries go through a careful process:

1. Cleaning

The cherries are washed to remove dirt and impurities.

2. Sun Drying

They are laid under the sun to dry naturally.

This step is crucial because it:

• Enhances sweetness
• Develops fruity notes
• Preserves natural oils

3. Sorting & Testing

Beans are sent to labs where they are tested for quality.

Only the best beans move forward.

From Ethiopia to the UAE

Once processed, the beans begin their journey to the UAE.

At Auro Coffee:

• Beans are carefully transported
• Roasted with precision
• Prepared for cafés and customers

This ensures that the coffee you drink in Abu Dhabi still carries the essence of Ethiopian origin.

Why Ethiopian Coffee Stands Out in the UAE

Ethiopian coffee has become popular in the UAE for its:

• Unique fruity flavor
• Smooth and balanced taste
• Rich cultural story

It offers a different experience compared to commercial coffee.
