This lot is produced at the Chelbesa One Washing Station in the Gedeb Zone and is managed by SNAP Specialty Coffee. The approximately 1,000 farmers that deliver cherry to this washing station, come from the region and have between 2 and 3 hectares of land sitting at an elevation of between 1950–2200 masl. This lot consists of the Ethiopian Heirloom varieties Korume and Wolisho.

Once the cherries arrive at the Chelbesa One Washing Station, they are placed in water for sorting and removing of floaters. The cherries are then de-pulped and left to dry ferment in tanks for 2-3 days to be later washed and placed to dry on raised beds. To ensure an even drying, the parchment is constantly moved each day, taking 7-10 days, depending on the weather, until reaching the desired humidity.
