Hambella (generally translated as "Hambella") is located in Ethiopia's largest coffee production area, Guji (GUJI), and is administratively under the Oromia Regional State. Hambella's western side faces the Yirgacheffe Kochore across mountains, with a highland area of 3200 meters elevation and about 30 kilometers wide separating the two production areas. It borders with Guji's Shakiso, Uraga, and Kercha sub-regions to the southeast, north, and south respectively, making it Ethiopia's highest altitude coffee sub-production area (Harrar is Ethiopia's highest altitude main production area).

Currently, there are nearly 20 processing plants of various scales in the Hambella production area. DW Company has four estate processing plants in the Dimtu core area of Hambella, namely "Buku Abel," "Buku Saysay," "Haro Soresa," and "Tirtiro Goye."

Among all these estates and processing facilities, only the natural processed coffee from the "Buku Abel" estate and processing plant is called "Flower Champion."

Buku Abel is a small village surrounded by mountains on the African continent at an altitude of 2280 meters. December is its coffee harvest season each year. During this time, the mountains are covered with bright red, mature coffee cherries, neatly arranged on African sun-drying beds in the village - this is where "Flower Champion" is processed.
