Chelbesa
Located in Gedeo zone of the Gedeb district - known for its dense layered semi-forest vegetation structure encompassing false banana trees as well as shade grown coffee trees - Worka Chelbesa is one of the finest coffee producing areas within the famous Gedeb Woreda. SNAP Specialty Coffee built a new wet mill in 2019 in Chelbesa Village with the hope of purchasing cherries from the local farms within the area. This particular lot has been processed using a traditional natural method. Sorting is done using a series of floatation tanks that separates all floaters and immature cherries. During the process of floatation, the cherries are cleaned before being placed on drying beds for a period of 28 to 35 days.
