Shantawene village is nestled between the villages of Bombe and the majestic Bombe mountain. As is common in much of Ethiopia, the local growers in this area are primarily smallholders, known as "garden farmers."

This natural occurrence of coffee trees in Ethiopia, highlights the region's rich coffee heritage. The annual rainfall in Shantawene village typically ranges from 1195 to 1980mm, contributing significantly to the lush vegetation and fertile soil that are conducive to coffee cultivation. Additionally, the alternating rainy seasons play a crucial role in providing the necessary moisture for coffee plants to thrive and produce high-quality cherries.
