This specfic station is opened in 2020 in the Tome Kebele of Uraga, Guji zone. Tome Station is a testament to intentional sourcing and traditional artistry. It works exclusively with the local farming community, whose 2–3-hectare plots thrive in the region's perfect rainfall and rich soil. Each harvest, from the first light picking in October to the final December collection, is dedicated to the natural process. The reddest cherries are sun-dried on 120 raised beds for 12-15 days,
Coffee is processed based on yield, with capacity ranging from one to two and a half containers. In mid-September, drying bed construction begins, and workers are assigned to teams specializing in labor management, quality control, and finance.The company operates a comprehensive network of washing and drying stations throughout the Guji region, processing coffee from over 400 farming families with an annual production capacity of over 1,000 tons.
