COFFEE PRODUCTION
The altitudes range from 1,500–2,300 m.a.s.l., resulting in slower ripening and the development of sweet, acidic flavors. The area is blessed with 1,200–2,000 mm of rain annually, making for optimal growing conditions. The region, where the company works, offers diverse, high-quality coffee with complex flavors, from nutty Chere to tropical Bensa. The partner farmers exclusively employ hand picking of ripened cherries ensuring that only the finest beans are harvested and make it to the customer.
The company is also equipped with a modern processing facility located on site guaranteeing that the fresh
cherries are processed to the highest standards and in an environmentally friendly
condition. Cherries are hand-picked and hand-sorted at source by farmers and at the
stations by workers to remove any under or overripe cherries. The select cherry harvest is then delivered to one of our washing sites, where farmers are paid an above average rate for their product, with a higher price paid for better quality cherry. Kadela Coffee has growing coffee on the coffee farm with partner out growers at Sidama Zone in different districts/woredas
