If you turn all the beans in Africa into a bunch of flowers, Yirgacheffe should be one of the most beautiful flowers.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans. Generally speaking, pure Arabica coffee beans grow in highlands between 4000 and 6000 feet above sea level, while Yirgacheffe grows at 6900 feet (2300 meters, equivalent to the height of Mount Ali), where forests cover sparsely populated areas. It used to be the exclusive coffee of the royal family in Ethiopia, and today the coffee beans in the Yirgacheffe producing area bring 67% of the foreign exchange to Ethiopia.

After removing the skin, pulp and pulp, the coffee fruit is soaked in a fermentation tank for 72 hours, which is a washed coffee bean, so it has a slightly wine flavor in addition to the floral aroma.

Yirgacheffe has a very subtle floral aroma, round and smooth taste, with aromas of flowers and fruits and alpine black tea, a hint of orange peel, seedless raisins and cinnamon, and even dark chocolate, with dry acidity, interweaving a soft and pleasant flavor and finish.

Yega Xuefei is a small town, 700-2100 meters above sea level, synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. It has been a wetland since ancient times. The ancient saying "Yirga" means "settle down" and "Cheffe" means "wetland". The mode of production and flavor of coffee here is so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of the flavor of their coffee, making it the most famous coffee producing area in Africa.

At first, Yejassefi's coffee trees were planted by European monks, and later by farmers or cooperatives. Yega Xuefei is actually constructed by the surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including: Hafusha, Hama, Biloya.

These mountain villages are foggy, like spring all year round, with a gentle breeze in summer, cool but not hot, rain but not damp, and no cold damage in winter, giving birth to a unique regional flavor of citrus and flowers. Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' own backyards or mixed with other crops in the field.
