Specifically, the farm is located in Belo Kebele, Chire district, in the southern part of the country. This area is part of a broader territory known for its exceptionally aromatic and fruity natural coffees. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003eThe farm lies on the edge of the Harenna Forest, one of the largest and most biodiverse forest ecosystems in Ethiopia. Here, coffee trees grow in a natural agroforestry system under the shade of indigenous trees, in an environment with high biodiversity, clean air, and a stable microclimate. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003eThe altitude of 1,710 meters, combined with mild daytime temperatures (23–28 °C) and cool nights around 13 °C, slows down cherry maturation. This results in dense beans with distinct sweetness, complex fruitiness, and a delicate structure. Clay soils retain moisture well, providing roots with a stable supply of nutrients. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1597\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1q6faro\" data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1636\"\u003e🌍 Sidama – The Heart of Ethiopian Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1980\"\u003eThe Sidama region is one of the most renowned coffee areas in the world. Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of Arabica, and Sidama represents one of its most distinctive forms.
