Faysel Abdosh established Ayla washing station in 2018. He named the station after his niece. Faysel’s company, Testi Specialty Coffee, has several stations in Guji. Ayla is Testi’s first station in Sidamo. About 800 farmers contribute cherry to the station. They cultivate coffee at high altitudes of 1,950 to 2,000 meters above sea level on small plots about 0.5 hectares on average.

In addition to buying cherry, Testi Specialty Coffee also contributes to community wellbeing. In Sidamo, they have helped build schools for local children, supported a water project to make clean water accessible and have helped connect homes to the electricity grid.
