ETHIOPIA NANO GENJI

The Nano Genji micro-lot from Western Ethiopia has become an early summer favorite. Coffee from the Agaro region is one of the first fresh East African coffees to arrive in North America and our roastery. This coffee is a benchmark for Ethiopian specialty coffee, showcasing how investment in meticulous craftsmanship and controlled production processes can consistently deliver outstanding harvests year after year. With a clean flavor profile and well-defined notes reflecting its origin, region, terroir, and lot, Nano Genji continues to exceed expectations season after season.

Established over two decades ago, this farm has evolved into a technology-driven operation and a trusted supplier known for its commitment to excellence. Thanks to the USAID Technoserve project aimed at improving the livelihoods of African coffee
farmers by helping them achieve better prices, the Nano Challa washing station was created. Recognizing the unique character of their coffee, Aleco invested in building strong relationships with these producers, strengthening them over time.

Nano Genji offers an intense, lively sweetness reminiscent of candied ginger and a sparkling, champagne-like finish. This remarkable flavor profile is a testament to the care put into every step of its journey—from cultivation and harvesting to meticulous processing.

About Ethiopia: Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. For centuries, coffee has grown freely in backyards, on small family farms, and across the countryside, cultivating thousands of unique coffee varieties. The vast genetic diversity of Ethiopian coffee creates a spectrum of flavors—from delicate flowers to ripe stone fruit to bold berries—making Ethiopia one of the most beloved coffee origins in the world.
