The Chelichele site is owned by Tamiru Amare (Tamiru translated to "Miracle" in English). The site is 2.ha and has 200 beds - coffee is sourced from the Chelichele area (average farm size is around 0.5 hectares.) The site has 6 permanent employees and then 110 in the harvest.
The coffee is initially floated to remove quakers, then placed on drying beds for 12-15 days. Green beans are handpicked by local women. The processing methods are chosen to maximize quality. Once dried and stored, the coffee is transported to Moplaco in Gerji, Addis Ababa, and then moved to Djibouti via train for export.
