Located in the Gedeo zone of the Gedeb district, Worka Chelbesa is one of the finest coffee producing areas in the famous Gedeb Woreda. Known for its dense, layered semi-forest vegetation structure, encompassing false banana trees as well as shade-grown coffee trees, Chelbesa is a great example of the best coffee-growing agro-ecology. Chelbesa gets most of its cherries from the surrounding hills, and farmers often walk for up to two hours to deliver their cherries to the station.

When Alexander, the manager of Tropiq Ethiopia, visited early in the season, farmers were waiting to harvest their cherries, even though red cherries were appearing on their trees. Their reasoning was that God would let them know when the right time to begin harvesting was.
