Hamasho Station is managed by Asefa Dukamo Korma. Hamasho, or “Serpent” in English, works with over 600 farmers who contribute with their cherries, mostly with the 74158 Variety. With its mix of rainy and sunny days, the Hamasho region really benefits from its microclimate conditions. In addition, due to the warmer days and cooler nights from such a high elevation, the beans develop slowly and are very dense.
