ABOUT THE FARM

Banko Chelchele sits in the Gedeo Zone of southern Ethiopia, within the Gedeb woreda of the SNNPR. This region is famous for producing some of Ethiopia’s most expressive coffees, thanks to its rich volcanic soil, high elevation, and ideal microclimate. The community’s deep agricultural knowledge, passed down through generations, has helped Chelchele earn a global reputation for quality. Coffee here is more than a crop—it’s a shared heritage and a central part of daily life, shaping both the economy and the rhythm of the community.

During harvest, farmers handpick only ripe cherries, a meticulous process that preserves quality and consistency. The cherries are traditionally sun-dried on raised beds, with constant attention to airflow and moisture. This careful approach, combined with Chelchele’s natural advantages, produces coffees known for their clarity, floral aromatics, and vibrant fruit character—an enduring reflection of the land and the people who cultivate it.
