FOUNDER & CEO

Ebsa Roba

My journey in coffee began at an early age through my family’s coffee business. Growing up around coffee gave me an understanding of the work behind every lot — from coffee production and processing to the importance of careful handling and quality.

Over the past five years, I have gained hands-on experience managing different coffee processing stations, working closely with producers, processing teams, and the coffee itself. This experience taught me that exceptional coffee is not created at one stage alone; it requires consistency, attention to detail, traceability, and respect for the origin at every step.

Alongside my practical experience in coffee, I hold a degree in Civil Engineering and have completed professional training in coffee cupping and export documentation. This combination of technical education, coffee experience, quality evaluation, and export knowledge has shaped the way I approach the coffee business.

In 2026, I founded Ancient Halo Coffee Export with a clear vision: to build a trusted Ethiopian coffee company focused on traceability, quality, consistency, and long-term relationships.

Our goal is to connect exceptional Ethiopian coffees with international buyers while maintaining transparency from origin to export. We believe that every coffee has a story, and our responsibility is to preserve that story through careful sourcing, processing, quality control, and traceable export.

WHO WE ARE

Coffee began in Ethiopia, and its heritage shapes how we work. We source from the highland growing areas that make Ethiopian coffee distinctive, focusing our attention on Guji and West Guji.

Our business is built around origin, quality, traceability, careful selection and long-term commercial relationships. We connect the work of producers and processors with buyers who value clarity and character.

We keep our sourcing focused and honest: current-season availability, grades, lot sizes and specifications are confirmed against actual supply and buyer requirements.

WHAT WE DO

Quality Ethiopian coffee, exported with care.

Sourcing

Identifying Ethiopian lots with clear origin character, good preparation and strong cup potential.

Quality

Export

Coordinating preparation, documentation and shipment so buyers receive what was agreed.
