Our wild growing coffee variety Bonga Bio has its home near the city of Wush-Wush, in western Ethiopia, in the region of the same name "Bonga" . Here the coffee cherry ripens under biological and original conditions in the local rainforest. The area is known for its excellent soil and climatic conditions. The loamy soil is of volcanic origin and therefore very rich in nutrients and minerals. Temperatures averaged 20 ° C - ideal for the Arabica plants to grow.

The coffee area is in the Kefa Zone at an altitude between 1800 and 2000 m above sea level. NN , an ideal height for coffee. The rainy season extends from March to mid-November, during this time there is an average rainfall of 1800 mm. The area has a size of 459 hectares, of which only 325 hectares are cultivated. There are older coffee trees on 200 hectares, younger ones grow on another 100 hectares. A mixed area extends over another 25 hectares, where coffee grows together with black pepper .

The coffee plants grow under a natural roof from the evergreen canopy of a wide variety of tropical trees. The canopy of the tall trees is home to many herbaceous plants, various spices, ferns and other plants. For example, our Bonga Forest grows alongside cardamom, corn, avocado and papayas.

Due to the natural vegetation in which the coffee trees grow, the sandy-loamy soil is rich in minerals . The biomass of the fallen leaves of trees and other plants contributes to a cycle, whereby, among other things, the coffee is supplied with plenty of nutrients for its original growth. So the coffee thrives without adding fertilizers or pesticides.

In 2010 this region was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve , the first in all of Ethiopia. The majority is covered by evergreen mountain cloud forests. Numerous animal and plant species have their habitat there. The forests are famous as the last of the wild arabica coffees grow there.
