Gera, also known as the land of honey and coffee.
Present-day Gera is a region in western Ethiopia bordered by roughly the same boundaries as the Old Kingdom of the same name that existed here nearly 200 years ago. One of the five ancient Oromo kingdoms in the Gibe region, Gera was once known for its exquisite and high-quality honey. Nowadays, when people mention the golden product of Gera, it is not only honey, but also coffee.

The Gera region is a high-altitude area, some areas even exceed 2000 meters above sea level. In addition, more than half of the land is old-growth forest. Various conditions have created such a suitable environment for growing coffee trees. In fact, there are also many wild coffee trees growing naturally here. Guerra Estate is located on this beautiful 1000 hectare area, most of which are between 1780 and 2100 meters above sea level.

As coffee trees take several years to produce fruit, the estate is currently only able to harvest coffee from 228 hectares (as of 2019). However, in the past few years, Guerra Estate has harvested nearly 500,000 kg of red cherries per year, which is a considerable amount, most of which are washed and only 20% are sun-dried.

Guerra Manor is a family business, in addition to the manor also has other import and export business. The manor was established in 2008. At the beginning, it started to cultivate 100 hectares of land. Year after year, some coffee trees were planted every year. As of 2019, the manor's 500 hectares of land had been full of fruitful young coffee trees. Contrary to most of the coffees produced in Ethiopia, Guerra Manor has cultivated seedlings from the beginning, invested in research and cultivation, and has the spirit of agricultural practice and a good washing and processing plant. It is a very professional manor. To ensure they grow the best coffee, Gera Estates has partnered with the Jimma Institute to select the most suitable varieties for the region.
