In recent years, in addition to Yejia Sheffei, which has been favored for a long time, many potential producing areas have been discovered, and international boutique coffee buyers have turned to other producing areas, such as Sidamo,Limu,Jimma. Wait. As the coffee produced by Guji / Shaquiso does have remarkable uniqueness, it naturally attracts the attention of the market. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the legendary beans (Nekisse) launched by the well-known coffee brand Ninty Plus at the end of 2009, which originally means "Nectar from Shakisso from Shaquiso". The raw beans are derived and named from Shakisso.

Near the famous Kaffa forest in Ethiopia, Africa, the whole region is a wild coffee forest, with at least 1000 coffee varieties. At present, scholars and experts recognize that Arabica varieties are the birthplace of Arabica varieties and are also the treasure house of global coffee genes. Generally known as Ethiopia Ye Xuefei coffee variety as Heirloom, in fact, does not refer to a single specific variety, the Chinese translation of Heirloom is "family heirloom", meaning that the original variety from the place of origin of coffee, is a God-given treasure, the size, appearance, shape of its raw beans are quite different, can not be seen in other producing areas, this is also the unique characteristics of African Ethiopian Yejia Xuefei coffee. Shaqisuo is located in the southeast of Yejia Sheffield, a well-known producing area, and belongs to Oromia Region → Guji Zone → Shakisso woreda in administrative division, which belongs to the source of coffee raw beans of regional type. Just like Yejia Xuefei became well-known after becoming famous, so it became an independent producing area. Guji became an independent production area by ECX in 2010 because of its superior geographical location and cup flavor. Shaqisuo is the most attractive micro-producing area in the Guji producing area, which is located in the southeast of Yejia Shifei, with an average altitude of more than 1800 meters. The fertile black soil (Vertisol) and significant temperature difference between day and night make the local have all kinds of local conditions for producing high-quality coffee. The sources of local coffee production almost all belong to the form of individual small farmers. At the arrival of the production season, the ripe red transparent berries from their neighbors are picked and sent to the treatment plant, placed on a well-ventilated African scaffolding to control the temperature and fermentation degree, and after the pulp is removed, the water content is reduced to between 11.5% and 12%. After the completion of the post-processing and static operation, it is exported through the competitive bidding system of the ECX Ethiopia Commodity Exchange.

Previously, we introduced Ethiopia's Yega Snow Coffee, which has become the target of international boutique coffee fans because of its special floral fragrance and lemon and citrus flavor, which in turn has led to an increase in the domestic demand market in Ethiopia. In the case of everyone scrambling for it, it is conceivable that the price of Yega snow coffee is becoming more and more expensive (how can we afford it? -Let's talk about Guji today!

In view of the disadvantages of the traditional solarization method, the water washing method comes along with it. Use a peeling machine to separate most of the pulp from the coffee beans, then guide the shelled beans to a clean sink, soak them in water and ferment to completely remove the residual pulp layer. In the past (about five years ago), washing was often the first choice for good coffee bean treatment. Through water treatment, unripe beans and defective beans are selected because of buoyancy, and the fermentation process is easier to control, so the flavor is not mixed like sun beans, but shows obvious acidity, complexity and cleaner (without any negative flavor, such as astringency or sharpness). But it is also because it is too "clean" and the richness of the flavor is a little weaker.

The reason why the Guji producing area can stand out and become a new bright spot in the eyes of boutique coffee fans, in addition to its own geographical advantages, high-quality farmers and changes in the division of ECX, the micro-producing area of Shakisso (sometimes translated as Shakiso) also plays an important role. Shaquiso's coffee belongs to the Guji producing area, and the flavor is of course quite unique. Coffee Review won a brilliant score of 95 points in April 2014, which has already attracted the attention of the market to further enhance the potential of the market. It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Ji is a rising star of Ethiopian coffee.
