The wet mill is located in the village of Chelbesa, more specifically in the Danche locality, in the heart of the Yirgacheffe appellation (Gedeo Zone, Gedeb woreda). It sits at an altitude of over 2,000 meters. The coffees processed here come from hundreds of regional producers who farm their plots around Chelbesa.
Coffee grows here in a semi-forest environment, under shade and near food crops such as bananas. This biodiversity, combined with the high altitude, gives coffees from this area their distinctive aromatic profile.
The station has tiled fermentation tanks and around 164 raised beds (or African beds), divided between washed and natural coffee processing. Washed coffees first undergo dry fermentation before being washed and then dried on the African beds.
In addition to washed and natural methods, the station also produces several honey process profiles (yellow, red, and white). Yellow honey undergoes anaerobic fermentation before washing, while red honey dries directly with its mucilage. The station also conducts experiments with innovative processes, such as yeast-based fermentation and co-fermentation.
