Bochesa is located on the Arbegona highlands at an altitude of 2,251 meters, making it one of the highest-altitude coffee-producing regions in Ethiopia. Its unique geographical advantage, combined with Daye Bensa's professional systematic management, ensures that the coffee produced here is of top-tier quality in terms of flavor complexity and cleanliness.
The processing station is operated by Daye Bensa and, due to its extremely high altitude, the harvest season is later than other regions (December to February each year). The area employs a diversified farming model, where coffee trees co-exist with crops such as sugarcane, enset (false banana), and spices, creating an excellent agricultural ecosystem.
Daye Bensa CEO Asefa firmly believes that quality coffee comes from farmers. In addition to contracting with local smallholders to purchase ripe coffee cherries, the company holds a "Farmers Day" every August to award bonuses to outstanding smallholders. Furthermore, they actively establish farmer schools and medical facilities, and distribute new seedlings to support the local economy.
