Small-scale farmers in Gedeb typically cultivate plots of land measuring less than 2 hectares and often assess their coffee farms by the number of trees rather than by area. Traditional cultivation methods dominate this region which is characterised by intercropping coffee plants with other food crops, as well as adopting an ‘organic by default’ approach to farming.

The farmhouses are surrounded by dense layers of semi-forest vegetation, including false-banana trees and shade-grown coffee trees.

At the Chelbesa wet mill, these ripe cherries undergo meticulous processing. The fermentation tanks at the wet mill are made of ceramic, which helps clarify the coffee, accelerates the fermentation process, and enhances consistency.
