Established in 2019, Buku Abel is a washing station situated in Guji. Nestled on a small hill at an elevation of 1900 to 2100 metres, it enjoys optimal sunlight exposure, cool winds and rich fertile red soil. Neighbouring farmers deliver their cherries around midday and sort them until the late afternoon.

The farmers’ average plot size ranges from 0.5 to 2 hectares and features a mix of semi-forest and garden vegetation. Each hectare is planted with approximately 1800 to 2400 trees, and each tree is estimated to produce around 3 kg of cherries. The varieties grown are heirloom.

This is a natural processed lot where the cherries were picked, sorted and sundried on African raised beds for about 20 days.
