Today we are going to talk about a "popular style" coffee bean-Yega Xuefei. This coffee bean has been miraculously praised by various media, movies, online stores, physical stores, coffee competitions and other channels. There is no denying that Yega Xuefei's flavor is really outstanding, but after all, it is only a kind of coffee bean, before we begin, we have to face this bean with an objective and calm state of mind.

Unique environment

In the northern part of the Great Rift Valley, a series of lakes are scattered, inlaid like pearls in the Horn of Africa. Lake Turkana stretches from Kenya to Ethiopia. This is not only the cradle of mankind, but also the cradle of coffee.

Yirga cheffe is a small town in Ethiopia with an elevation of 1700-2100 meters above sea level. It is one of the highest coffee producing areas in the world and is synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. It has been a wetland since ancient times. The ancient saying "Yega" yirga means "settle down", and "Sheffield" cheffe means "wetland". Therefore, Yega Xuefei means "Let's settle down in this wetland".

Lake Turkana, Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo bring rich water vapor here. The Rift Valley, represented by Misty valley, is foggy all the year round, like spring all the year round, with a gentle breeze, cool and humid, and thousands of coffee trees thrive, giving birth to the unique and unpredictable atmosphere of Yejia Xuefei's unique fragrance of flowers and fruits.

Strictly speaking, Yega Xuefei is a by-product area of Ethiopia's Sidamo Sidamo province, located northwest of Sidamo, along the mountain with paste, 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.

Ethiopia's most representative coffee has two types, one is Yega Sheffield, the other is Harald. The former paragraph of washing beans, the latter section of sun-dried beans. All have their own characteristics. Some people cleverly compare Yega Xuefei to a woman, and Harald is naturally a great man.

The Historical Origin of Yejia Xuefei

At first, Yejassefi's coffee trees were planted by European monks (a bit like Belgian monks growing wheat to brew beer), and later by farmers or cooperatives. Yejia Chuefei is actually constructed by surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including Edido Idido, Hafusa Harfusa, Hama Hama and Biloya near Fog Valley Misty valley, all washed with water, but there are also a small number of off-product beans engraved with sun to enhance the charming fruit aroma and mellow thickness.

Coffee trees are naturally scattered in forests, countryside and backyards. During the harvest season, the Ethiopian Coffee Trading Company will go to town to buy coffee beans collected by farmers and eventually sell them under the brand name "Yega Xuefei".

The flavor of Yejia Xuefei

Although Yejia Xuefei is petite, she is gentle and delicate, sweet and lovely. The barista rushes the pot by hand, according to the roasting degree of the coffee beans, the Yega Chuefei has a unique sweet aroma of lemon, flower and honey, soft acidity and citrus taste, fresh and bright taste. No milk or sugar, let the rich texture and unique soft flower scent brush your taste buds, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Yega Chuefei exudes an extremely complex aroma and shows an extremely excellent taste that is difficult to describe. In general, the dry aroma of Yega Chuefei is full of fruit, with strong aromas of dried fruit, strawberry, mango and apricot jam. Wet fragrance is like sweet syrup, like sticky apricot juice, wrapped in plain honey or chocolate. The entrance is not strong, the mellow thickness is medium, the sour taste is not obvious, but it is lively and bright, like fruit black 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.

The grading of Yega Xuefei

Yega Xuefei is divided into two categories according to the different ways of handling raw coffee beans (at present, the following classification is slightly out of date, and it is said that there are new classification criteria):

Category An is the washing method, and the grade standard is set by the American Fine Coffee Society SCAA. It is divided into Gr-1;Gr-2. The smaller the Arabic numeral is, the higher the grade is. The style of G1 Yega Chuefei is distinct. The flavor of citrus and floral flavor in the coffee liquid is an irresistible delicacy for everyone.

Category B is sun-treated coffee raw beans, with a grade of Gr-1;Gr-3;Gr-4;Gr-5, and the same highest grade G1 sun Yega Chevy is fruity. Opening the freshly baked G1 Sun Yega Chevy coffee bag can subvert people'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.

The best baking method

Beans with such a gorgeous flavor are certainly not suitable for medium-deep baking, so light or moderate baking is recommended.

The best way of cooking

This bean is most suitable for hand brewing and siphon brewing. When you grind the beans, you can smell the sweet smell of the sun fruit. There is also the citrus and jasmine fragrance of Yega Snow Coffee, which tastes very much like the three-in-one flavor of Harald, Yemeni mocha and Yega Snow Flavor.
