The Konga-Sede Washing Station washing plant is located in the village of Konga Village in southern Ethiopia, about 5 km from the downtown area of Yirgacheffe Town. The altitude is about 1780-1870 meters, and the average annual temperature is 24029 degrees Celsius. The soil for growing coffee vegetation is about 1.5 meters thick, and the water used to irrigate coffee comes from springs in the mountains. The harvest period is from November to January of the following year.

The local coffee growing culture in Konga provides shade for small-scale coffee farmers to grow coffee in their backyards and plant tall shade trees. During the non-harvest period, farmers grow food crops, such as corn, outside the coffee vegetation, and raise poultry such as cattle and chickens to make up for the decline in income during the non-harvest period.

The processing of coffee is one of the important factors affecting the flavor of coffee. In order to maintain good product quality, only fully ripe red cherries are harvested and screened by weight in the bucket trough. During the drying step, in order to facilitate air convection, the coffee is laid on an one-meter-high bedstead and protected by barbed wire. In order to ensure the uniformity of coffee drying, the height of coffee is limited to the thickness of one coffee fruit; in addition to expanding the drying area, frequent turning and drying of coffee is another key point affecting the quality, especially in the first few days of drying. more frequent stirring is needed to lose a lot of water. After about 14-17 days, when the water content of the coffee reaches 11.5%, the coffee will be concentrated in a low-temperature, dark and dry storeroom, waiting for export.
