The Higai processing Plant (Tsigei Station) is located in the village of Bonbe Village in the Sidamo Cafe area (Sidamo Distric) in the southern states of southern Ethiopia (Southern Nations, Nationalist). The altitude is about 1900-2100 meters. The average daily temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the average annual temperature at night is 15 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall is 1200 ~ 1800 mm. In addition to the pleasant climatic conditions, the fertile red brown soil in the coffee growing park is one of the key factors to produce superior quality of raw beans in this area.

The harvest time for coffee is from November to January of the following year. Outside the harvest period, farmers grow crops such as corn and plantains as another source of income. When the place names are Wanza (rag tree), Acacia (albizzia tree) and Birbira (endemic to Ethiopia) are common coffee shade tree species in this area. In particular, the seeds of Birbira trees not only have the characteristics of repelling mosquitoes, but also are widely used in fishing and hunting by local residents, continuing from ancient times to the present.

The water source of Xigai treatment plant is the surrounding river water. There are 2 soaking ponds and 14 fermentation ponds in the plant. The coffee scaffolding used to dry the coffee fruit is set up around the processing plant to reduce the transportation distance and quickly post-process the picked cherries. After the washing and sun treatment is completed, the beans from the sheep skin will be transported to the dry treatment plant in downtown Yegashafi, waiting for export arrangements.
