Coming from Debo in the Kochere region, about 3-4 hours' drive from Sidamo, passing through the center of Dilla town and Wenago, you enter Yirgacheffe. Located in the southwest of Yirgacheffe, Kochere has quite challenging terrain with high altitude. The entire Debo region has an altitude of over 2000 meters, situated northwest of another coffee area with excellent and stable quality - the Hama area. The introduced Debo coffee is 100% processed by the Gellana washing station for post-harvest processing of coffee cherries. The Gellana washing station is also located at an altitude of about 2000 meters, built near the production area, which facilitates processing work during the harvest season.

Staff form a small community around the processing plant, making it convenient to care for the freshly harvested coffee cherries that arrive, and conduct rigorous manual sorting again during the final drying stages to maintain more transparent traceability records of the green beans before they are sent to the capital, Addis Ababa.

Knowledge Point:

Ethiopia's territory consists mainly of mountainous plateaus, mostly belonging to the Ethiopian Plateau. The Great Rift Valley of East Africa runs through the entire country, with an average altitude of nearly 3000 meters, earning it the reputation as the "Roof of Africa."
