Great Abyssinia traces its roots from a small sole proprietorship founded in the early nineties in Ethiopia, then called Abyssinia Tea and Coffee Enterprise. With a single purpose of adding value to the finest Ethiopian coffee and catering exclusively to the domestic market, we had a humble beginning which largely banked on 10,000 birr initial investment capital, an old and rundown machine, ten employees and sheer devotion and love for Ethiopian coffee.
The company started by roasting, grounding and packaging Arabica Coffee relying exclusively on local market. Eventually, strategic leadership and diligent employees of the company were rewarded with increased market share and expanding customer base ushering the company into a new era of progress. What could be considered as a milestone in the growth of Great Abyssinia came in 2003 when the brothers decided to reorganize the company as private limited company with paid up capital amounting to 4.5 million birr.

Health-Conscious Parent
Great Abyssinia started as Abyssinia Tea and Coffee Enterprise with a small sole proprietorship founded in Ethiopia. With just 10,000 birr initial investment, an old machine, and ten employees, we began our journey with sheer devotion to Ethiopian coffee.
Reorganized as a private limited company with paid up capital amounting to 4.5 million birr. The company assumed its name Great Abyssinia P.L.C with shareholders each having equal equity contributions and shares.
The company redirected its focus more on diversification that included but not limited to fast-moving consumer goods, marking a new chapter in our growth story.
Soon after reorganization, Great Abyssinia gathered its momentum to launch its bottled water line: Abyssinia Springs. This move took the company to a new height making it one of the biggest players in the Ethiopia's private bottling industry.
Today, Great Abyssinia continues to grow, innovate and maintain our commitment to quality, authenticity, and customer satisfaction while honoring our Ethiopian heritage.
