Ethiopia - Chelbessa

The washing station is located in the village of Chelbessa, in the Danche area, in the Gedeo zone.
It is located at an altitude of over 2,000 metres and was set up fairly recently in 2019 by SNAP - a coffee exporter.
SNAP selects red cherries from 650 growers who work the land around Chelbessa.
The farm with 120 drying beds and 12 permanent emplyees has coffee growing in semi-forest, under shade trees and close to food crops such as bananas.
SNAP has installed tiled fermentation tanks and 164 drying beds, 100 for washed coffees and 64 for natural coffees.
