□ Ethiopia's administrative divisions are divided into four levels, arranged in the order of Region, Zone, woreda, kebele. Most of the coffee beans are named according to this rule. This Guji/Shakisso is located in the southeast of the well-known production area Yejiashefei. In the administrative division, it belongs to Oromia Region/Guji Zone/Shakisso woreda, belonging to regional coffee production. Just as Yejia Shefei became an independent producing area after becoming famous, Guji was independent by ECX in 2010 due to its superior geographical location and measured flavor. Shakisso (sometimes translated as Shakiso) is the micro-production area with the most international coffee market attention in Guji production area, with an average altitude of more than 1800 meters, fertile black soil (Vertisol) and significant temperature difference between day and night, so that the local has all the conditions for producing high-quality fine coffee. The local coffee production sources are almost all individual smallholder farmers. When the season comes, they pick their own fully ripe red berries and send them to the local regional processing plant for post-processing. After that, they will export through the bidding system of ECX Ethiopian Commodity Exchange.

In recent years, in addition to the long-favored Yejia Shefei, many potential producing areas have been discovered, and international boutique coffee buyers have turned to look for producing areas other than Yejia Shefei, such as Sidamo,Limu,Jimma, etc. Because the coffee produced by Guji/Xiachisuo is indeed unique, it naturally gets the attention of the market. Especially worth mentioning is the legendary bean Nekisse launched by the famous coffee brand Ninety Plus at the end of 2009, which originally means "Nectar from Shakisso". The source and name of raw beans come from Shakisso.

Yega Shefi, Ethiopia, Africa is adjacent to the famous Kaffa Forest. The whole area is a wild coffee forest. There are many and complicated coffee varieties, at least 1000 kinds. At present, scholars and experts recognize the birthplace of Arabica varieties and the treasure house of global coffee genes. The coffee variety generally called Ethiopian Yejia Shefei is Heirloom, which does not actually refer to a single specific variety. The Chinese translation of Heirloom is "heirloom," which means the original variety from the birthplace of coffee. It is a treasure given by God. The size, appearance and shape of raw beans vary greatly, which cannot be seen in other producing areas. This is also the unique characteristic of coffee in Ethiopia Yejia Shefei producing area in Africa. Shakisso is located in the southeast of Yejia Xuefei, a well-known producing area. It belongs to Oromia Region→Guji Zone→Shakisso woreda in administrative division, belonging to regional coffee beans. Like Yejia Xuefei, after becoming famous, it became widely known and became an independent production area. Gugi was established as an independent production area by ECX in 2010 due to its superior geographical location and medium flavor. Xiachisuo is the most attractive micro-production area in Guji production area, geographically located in the southeast of Yejia Xuefei, with an average altitude of more than 1800 meters, fertile black soil (Vertisol), significant temperature difference between day and night, so that the local has various terroir conditions for producing high-quality fine coffee. The local coffee production sources are almost all individual smallholder forms. When the season comes, the ripe red berries in the vicinity are picked and sent to the processing plant. They are placed on well-ventilated African shelves to control the temperature and fermentation degree. After removing the pulp, the moisture content is reduced to 11.5%-12%. After the post-processing and standing operations are completed, they are exported through the bidding system of ECX Ethiopian Commodity Exchange.

Before, we introduced Ethiopia's yejia sherphine, which has become the target of international fine coffee fans because of its special floral fragrance and lemon citrus tonality, which in turn has led to an increase in Ethiopia's domestic demand market. With everyone clamoring for it, the price of yerba sherphine is understandably getting more and more expensive (how can we afford it!--) Therefore, people are looking for a hidden version of coffee with a lower reputation but equal flavor quality, and Guji is discovered in this way-let's talk about Guji today!

The Guji region is located in the southeast of the well-known Yerga Sherphine region and is the highest altitude region in Ethiopia, with an average altitude of more than 1800 meters. The significant temperature difference between day and night makes the growth of coffee beans more complete and sweeter; less pests allow coffee farmers to grow in an organic way, coupled with its own fertile black soil, so that Guji has all the conditions for producing high-quality coffee. During the production season, small farmers pick ripe red berries from their neighbors and send them to the treatment plant. They are placed on well-ventilated African scaffolding to control the temperature and fermentation degree. After removing the pulp, the water content is reduced to 11.5%-12%. It is really a good time and a good man. Under the ECX trading system in the past, Guji only belonged to the production area with Sidamo A flavor (Figure 1). It is a little coffee unknown to people. However, because the flavor is too unique and eye-catching, ECX had to separate Guji into its own flavor (Figure 2).

Because of the disadvantages of traditional tanning, washing followed. Harvested berries are peeled to remove most of the pulp from the beans. The beans are then directed to a clean tank where they are soaked in water for fermentation to remove the remaining pulp layer. In the past (about five years ago), washing was often the preferred method of preparing good coffee beans. Through water treatment, immature beans and defective beans are selected due to buoyancy, and the fermentation process is better controlled, so the flavor is not as messy as sun-baked beans, but presents obvious acidity, slightly more complexity and cleaner cup characteristics (no negative flavor, such as astringency or sharpness). However, it is also because it is too "clean" and the richness of flavor is slightly weaker.

In addition to its geographical advantages, high-quality farmers and ECX division changes, Shakisso (sometimes translated as Shakiso) is also a micro-production area that can stand out as a new highlight in the eyes of fine coffee fans. The coffee of Xiachisuo belongs to Guji producing area, and the flavor is of course quite unique. In April 2014, Coffee Review won 95 points, which further enhanced the potential of Guji producing area, which has received market attention. It is no exaggeration to say that Guji is a rising star of Ethiopian coffee!

Ethiopia Ethiopia

Population: 93877000

Ethiopia's appellation is the most recognizable in the coffee world, and is currently the country with the most appellation as coffee. Today, the future is predictable. In addition, the Arabica gene potential of the original species and wild species will also be a major advantage for Ethiopian coffee.

SIDAMO

Shidamo and two other regions, Hara and Yegashev, registered trademarks in 2004 with the approval of the Ethiopian government, increasing the recognition of the region's reputation and the distinctive characteristics of the local coffee beans. Sidamo uses a combination of washing and sun treatment to gain popularity among consumers who like fruit and strong aromas. After Italy withdrew from Ethiopia in 1942, the area was known locally as Sidama. Sidamo or Sidama is the generic term for coffee beans from this region. Some of Ethiopia's high-quality coffee beans are also grown in this area.

Ethiopia's administrative divisions are divided into four grades, arranged in the order of Region, Zone, woreda and kebele from large to small. Most of the coffee beans are named according to this rule. The Guji-Shakisso launched this time is located in the southeast of the well-known producing area Yejia Xuefei. In terms of administrative division, it belongs to Oromia Region→Guji Zone→Shakisso woreda, belonging to coffee beans from regional sources.

Like Yejia Xuefei, after becoming famous, it became widely known and became an independent production area. Gugi was established as an independent production area by ECX in 2010 due to its superior geographical location and medium flavor. Shakisso (sometimes translated as Shakiso) is the most attractive micro-production area in Guji, geographically located in the southeast of Yejia Shefei, with an average altitude of more than 1800 meters, fertile black soil (Vertisol), significant temperature difference between day and night, so that the local has all the conditions for producing high-quality fine coffee. Almost all the local coffee production sources belong to individual smallholder forms. When the season comes, the ripe red berries adjacent to their own are picked and sent to the treatment plant. They are placed on well-ventilated African shelves to control the temperature and fermentation degree. After removing the pulp, the water content is reduced to 11.5%-12%. When the post-treatment and standing operations are completed, they are exported through the bidding system of ECX Ethiopian Commodity Exchange. Local exporters or international buyers then compete to find the right green coffee beans.

In recent years, Ethiopia's most high-profile production area is Yejia Shefei. Guji-Xiachisuo is less known than Yejia Shefei. However, under the trend of soaring overall prices of Yejia Shefei in 2015, international boutique buyers turn to other nearby production areas, such as: Sidamo, Limu, Jimma, etc., many potential producing areas and producers have been discovered one after another, such as Limu Gera, Jimma Agaro Yukro, etc., which were launched a while ago.

The coffee produced by Guji-Xiachisuo is actually quite unique, and the coffee produced has also repeatedly received market attention. Ninety Plus launched the legendary Nekisse at the end of 2009, which means "nectar from Xiachisuo".(Nectar from Shakisso), the origin and name are from Shakisso; another Level Up launched the flower language (Derar Ela), which is also a Shakisso production area. Last year, it was also repeatedly praised by Taiwanese operators and won an excellent score of 95 points in the April 2014 Coffee Review.

Sidama is located in southern Ethiopia, where the landscape varies, creating a unique and diverse coffee flavor in each town. Shakisso is located in Guji, West Damori
