The coffee flavor of Sidamo is very diverse, because of the different soil composition, regional microclimate and countless native coffee varieties, the coffee produced in each urban area has obvious differences and characteristics. The Sidamo producing area (Sidama) is located in southern Ethiopia. The industry here is dominated by agriculture, and the coffee-growing area is located around the East African Great Rift Valley (Great Rift Valley).

Hambella (commonly translated as Humbela) is located in GUJI, the largest coffee producing region in Ethiopia, and the administration is subordinate to the state of Oromia. The west of Hambella is across the mountain from kochore. The two producing areas are separated by highlands with an elevation of 3200 meters and a width of about 30 kilometers, and are connected with the shakiso,Uraga and Kerchaz producing areas of Guji in the east and south, respectively. It is the highest coffee producing area in Ethiopia (Harrar is the main producing area in Ethiopia).

At present, there are about 20 processing plants of various sizes in Hambella producing areas. Dimtu, the core production area of Hambella of DW Company, has four manor processing plants, namely "Buku abel", "Buku saysay", "Haro soresa" and "Tirtiro Goye". The annual output of coffee is about 1100 tons.

Of all these estates and processing plants, only the sun-tanned coffee from the "Buku Abel" manor and processing plant is called "Sakuran".

Huakui treatment plant is located in buku abel village, which is 2200 meters above sea level. From the beginning of cultivation, it has been chosen as a noble "family environment"-rich humus reddish brown soil, and given shade and care to "Enset" tree species, so that Sakui receives sufficient sunlight and produces rich flavor without consuming too much nutrients, thus retaining more essence in the inside of the coffee fruit. In the harvest and treatment season (December-January), its unique growth environment and natural climate created the unique flavor of Huakui. The sugar content of the red fructose we are picking is more than 30 before we start sun treatment. In the first two days of the sun, we should ensure the humidity of the red fruit so that the fructose begins to ferment fully. At the same time, the high-altitude geographical location, so that the night temperature of the treatment plant can be reduced to about 12 degrees Celsius, and will not produce the smell of excessive fermentation because the temperature is too high. When the temperature is relatively high at noon, we will cover in time to prevent sunburn of red fruit. Choose only all red fruits, fully ripe coffee cherries, all manual picking, African scaffolding to dry, limit the thickness of the fruit layer and turn it regularly for 24 hours to ensure uniform sun exposure and ventilation and a more accurate grasp of the fermentation degree.
