What is the authentic Yega flavor? What are the flavor characteristics of the really excellent Yejasuffi coffee beans?

The so-called Yega Chuefei flavor, Qianjie believes that the beautiful citrus, lemon, berry sweet and sour and elegant jasmine aroma, with a pleasant sense of tea. In order to show such exquisite flavor and taste, the high-quality growing environment, variety, treatment, roasting and brewing of coffee are indispensable.

The name comes from the town of Yirgacheffe, a by-product area of Ethiopia's Sidamo province. Later, because the coffee produced here has a unique flavor and is famous all over the world, it is independent and has its own school. Yega Xuefei and two other well-known producing areas, Sidamo and Hara, are registered as commercial trademarks by the Ethiopian government, so what we call Yejasuefi today refers more to a trademark with coffee flavor. Yega Chuefei is also regarded as one of the synonyms for Ethiopian quality coffee. The red cherry coffee beans on the Qianjie bean list are selected from the sun-treated Yejiaxuefei, which not only shows a typical Yega Chuefei flavor, but also shows excellent sweetness after the all-red fruits are shining in the sun.

In order to improve the income of local farmers in Ethiopia and the quality of coffee, the Dutch trading company Trabocca BV launched the Red Cherry Project (OPERATION CHERRY RED PROJECT) in 2007, mainly aimed at some high-altitude producing areas such as Yegashafi, Ethiopia, to improve the treatment techniques such as washing, semi-washing and solarization, with the participation of professional cup testers, and the harvest season will set different coffee harvests for different microclimate areas. Only 100% ripe red coffee cherries must be harvested and the yield is about 1500-3000KG. The financial support provided by Trabocca, new hardware equipment and production knowledge and technology have greatly improved the quality of coffee beans in the Yegashafi region and even the entire Ethiopian country, which in turn has higher coffee prices, thus increasing the income of farmers.

Freshly pick coffee red fruit, through manual screening, pick out defective beans and overripe or moth-eaten ones, leaving good beans. Then sent to the drying place for drying treatment, of course, different production areas use different drying racks, some will be tarpaulins, high beds, etc., the most common is the African-style drying bed, the drying time is generally 27-30 days, until the coffee turns dark purple, the moisture content is reduced to 11%. Yega Chuefei in the sun has a stronger flavor, a richer sense of hierarchy, a fermented wine flavor, and a higher sense of sweetness.

Different from the era of "bitter coffee", the light-roasted Yega Xuefei can be said to have ushered in a new era of sour coffee. The reason why the coffee is bitter is mainly because the roaster bakes the coffee beans deeply, and the main flavor is nuts and dark chocolate. With the emergence of the concept of boutique coffee, in order to retain more acidity, the roaster roasted the coffee to a light degree, giving it a pleasant sweet and sour fruit and white flower aroma.

Like sweetness and fear bitterness, which is precisely the popular taste, which is one of the reasons why Yega Xuefei is so popular all over the world. Of course, Qianjie Street will also add it to the series of rations and beans for the introduction to coffee, such a popular Yegashefi coffee. The food rations in front of the street allow friends who have just come into contact with the coffee circle to taste the basic flavor of the producing area at an ultra-low price, and the design of small packages can also avoid endless waste.
