Chelba is a boutique coffee and raw bean cooperative located in the Gedeo area of Yegashefi. There are about 700 smallholder growers in the Gedeo area who send the harvested coffee fruits to the Chelba cooperative's processing plant for centralized processing. The average planting area of these small growers is 2 hectares. The total area of coffee cultivation in this area is about 888 hectares. The planting height is 1900 to 2100 meters above sea level. The local climate is suitable, with a temperature of 25 ℃ during the day and 18 ℃ at night. They plant coffee trees next to self-sufficient crops and crops that raise livestock. The main local shading tree species are: Acacia, Luohansong and so on.

The processing plant of the Chelba cooperative mainly deals with coffee fruits harvested by surrounding farmers. Before dealing with coffee fruit, Chelba will ask farmers to pick coffee fruit according to strict standards, they only pick ripe red fruit. This is a very critical quality control link for boutique coffee. In the past few years, the beans of the Chelba cooperative have been well received. Raw beans treated with Natural have the sweetness and blueberry flavor of strawberries, while those treated with Washed show sweetness and acidity similar to those of citrus and apples.
