Gedeb is a woreda of the Gedeo Zone in Ethiopia's South Ethiopia Region, just south of Yirgachefe, and it was split off from Kochere woreda. One exporter puts its coffee at roughly 1,900-2,200 m. The Wuri washing station in Worka-Sakaro kebele, one of 16 kebeles in the woreda, sits at 2,076 m and is run by a private company that has exported directly since 2017, having sold through the ECX before. Its washed lots are described with rose, jasmine and honeydew, and its naturals with jammy blackberry and dark plum, with harvest from mid-October to late January.
