In Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, there is a name that seamlessly bridges tradition and modernity: Heleanna Georgalis. At Julith Coffee, we value the labor and character behind every single bean. As one of the primary architects of those unique floral aromas reaching your cup from the mystic lands of Ethiopia, Heleanna Georgalis, leading Moplaco, acts as a definitive standard-setter in the world of specialty coffee. In this article, we journey into the heart of Ethiopian coffee.
Moplaco (Modern Planing Coffee) is a deeply rooted export and production company founded by Yanni Georgalis in 1972. However, the brand’s current global vision and “quality-focused” identity were primarily built by Heleanna Georgalis, who took over her father’s legacy. Heleanna views coffee production not just as a business, but as a “quest for excellence.” Moplaco curates the finest lots from Ethiopia’s legendary regions like Yirgacheffe, Sidamo, and Guji, subjecting them to Heleanna’s rigorous inspection.
Julith Coffee’s motto “Destroy today, own tomorrow” perfectly aligns with Heleanna’s stance in the Ethiopian coffee industry. She shattered conventional export methods by elevating quality control at every washing station, proving the immense potential of Ethiopian coffee to the world.
In the coffee industry, Heleanna Georgalis is recognized not just as an executive, but as an extraordinary “cupper.” For Heleanna, it is not enough for a coffee to be “good”; it must have a story, a distinct terroir character, and impeccable clarity. Under the Moplaco umbrella, coffee cherries are processed from the moment of harvest under strict rules established by Heleanna herself.
The renowned clarity in Washed Ethiopian coffees and the complex fruitiness in Natural processes are direct results of Heleanna Georgalis’s attention to detail during processing. A coffee bearing the Moplaco label offers the drinker the purest expression of the region’s characteristics.
Thanks to its genetic diversity, Ethiopian coffee offers the most complex profiles in the world. The Moplaco selections, prepared under the guidance of Heleanna Georgalis, represent the pinnacles of this diversity.
For Julith Coffee, working with Heleanna Georgalis means delivering those wild yet elegant aromas from Ethiopia’s coffee forests with the most precise roasting profile.
An Ethiopian coffee signed by Heleanna Georgalis is like a gem that must be handled with care during brewing. To avoid masking the delicate floral and citric layers, one must focus on highlighting the aroma rather than suppressing it with body.

We strongly recommend open brewing equipment like the V60 or Origami Dripper for these elegant beans. A water temperature between 92°C and 94°C and a 1:16 ratio will reveal the jasmine and bergamot notes with crystal clarity. This coffee, meticulously crafted by Heleanna Georgalis, will sweeten with a tea-like elegance as the cup cools.
Heleanna Georgalis and Moplaco stand as one of the most vital strongholds protecting the prestige of Ethiopian coffee in the global market. By not just exporting but also educating producers and improving station infrastructure, Heleanna is shaping the future of specialty coffee.
