Grade

The grading system of Ethiopian coffee is not based on the number of items, but on the proportion of defective beans in raw beans. In October 2009, Ethiopia launched the ECX boutique coffee trading classification system, and Q-Grader rated raw beans as follows:

Washed Yega Chuefei is divided into two grades: Grade 1 and Grade 2.

Grade 1, Grade 3, Grade 4 and Grade 5 are divided into sun Yega Xuefei.

Grade 1 is the highest grade, that is, the Yega Xuefei with the lowest defect rate and the best quality.

As for the quality of the taste, it has a lot to do with the quality of the beans and the brewing level of the barista, but for those who drink a single cup of coffee for the first time, it may be very sour and you don't get used to it, but please don't dislike her sour. That's the taste she has, the truest, purest, without any concealment.

Yirga cheffe is a small town in Ethiopia, 1700-2100 meters above sea level. It is also synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. Since ancient times, it has been a wetland. The ancient saying "Yega" yirga means "settle down", and "cheffe" means "wetland". Therefore, Yejia Xuefei means "let us settle down in this wetland".

Strictly speaking, Yega Xuefei is a by-product area of Ethiopia's Sidamo Sidamo province, located northwest of Sidamo, with a mountain with a lake, is one of the highest coffee-producing areas in Ethiopia. However, the mode of production and flavor here are so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of the flavor of their coffee, so they are independent from Sidamo and become the most famous producing area in Africa.

Yejia Xuefei is actually constructed by surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, all of which are treated by washing, but there are also a small number of excellent beans engraved in the sun to enhance the charming fruit aroma and mellow thickness. 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.

The so-called "Yega Chuefei" refers to the strong aromas of jasmine, lemon or lime acid, as well as peach, almond or tea. The phrase "coffee entrance, flowers in full bloom" is best described, just as flowers promote the comfort of taste buds and olfactory cells in the nasal cavity. In addition to the fragrance of flowers, the delicate thickness of body, like silk massage in the mouth, feels wonderful. At present, many coffee chemists begin to study the microclimate and soil and water around Yega Xuefei, in order to sum up the planting equation of fine coffee.

Yejia Xuefei is divided into two categories according to the different ways of handling raw coffee beans: category An is water washing treatment, and the grade standard is formulated by the American Fine Coffee Association SCAA, which is divided into Gr-1 and Gr-2. The smaller the Arabic numeral, the higher the grade. Category B is sun-treated coffee raw beans, with grades from Gr-1 to Gr-5. Similarly, the highest grade of G1 sun Yega Chuefei is fruity. Opening the freshly roasted G1 sun Yega Chevy coffee bag can subvert everyone's original understanding of coffee. Only those who have tasted the highest grade sun Yega Chevy will believe that coffee is a kind of fruit.
