The Faufat-Beneferga treatment plant buys cherries from about 600 small farmers in the vicinity, planting them at an altitude of about 1900-2100 meters, which is an excellent altitude for cultivation, following the traditional Ethiopian way of growing all-organic. The treatment plant adopts the traditional Ethiopian water washing method. After peeling, the peel is removed in a fermentation tank for about 48 hours, and after washing, it is dried in an African elevated scaffolding for about 12-15 days. In the sun drying process, in addition to the continuous hand-picked refining operation, it also follows the traditional construction method to cover the scaffolding for about three hours at noon, so as not to affect the quality due to excessive sun drying.
