Ethiopia is not only an important producing area of boutique coffee, but also the place where coffee is produced at present. If you mention Ethiopia, you must know Yega Xuefei. Today, let's take a look at the special features of this producing area.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica species, has a variety of native species, and is an important native coffee gene pool. The production season is from October to December every year, with an annual output of about 8 million bags, making it one of the top five coffee producers in the world. The pattern of coffee cultivation in Ethiopia is similar to that in Taiwan, with fewer large estates and mostly small areas of their own, so they are mostly in the form of small farmers' cooperatives. Even so, don't underestimate the weight of coffee in Ethiopia. It is estimated that about 15 million people in Ethiopia are involved in the process from coffee harvest to export. Therefore, coffee is not only a crop that small farmers depend on for a living, but also an important source of foreign exchange that affects the whole country.

Yega Chevy is famous for its unforgettable characteristics such as its special floral fragrance and lemon and citrus tone, which made it independent from the Sidamo producing area in 1995. it is no longer just a small town under Sidamo province, but has become an independent and famous producing area.

According to the division of the Ethiopian administrative region after ▼ 1995, Yega Xuefen belongs to the Gedeo region.

On the other side of the article, the editor introduced the Ethiopian ECX trading system, and mentioned the disadvantage that the system could not trace the source of the product, which led to the fact that the market was full of Yega Chevy coffee, which was not really produced in the small town of Yega Chefe.

Ethiopia's official definition of "Yega Chefe" includes Wanago, Yirgacheffe, Kochere and Gelena Abaya. Coffee produced from these areas is collectively referred to as Yega Chefe. So how do you choose to buy real Yega-flavored coffee? Through the ECX trading system, coffee beans from Gaidio are divided into two groups: group A, which has the flavor of Yega, and group B, which does not have the flavor of Yega. Therefore, if the coffee you buy is Cochel ECXA, it not only means that it is produced in the town of Cochell, but also means that it has the flavor of Yega snow coffee. But it should be noted that even if you buy coffee from the town of Yega Schiffe, it doesn't mean it has the flavor of Yega Chevy. We still have to look at the cup test results and divide them into group An or group B.

For example, if you buy Yega Chevy ECXB, it means that the coffee comes from the small town of Yega Chefe, but it doesn't have the flavor of Yega Chefe. How did this happen? It's like going to Nantou to buy Alishan-flavored tea, but it doesn't taste as expected. It's confusing because most people only regard Yega Chefe as a noun for the producing area, but in fact Yega Chefe is a term for "flavor". So if you buy coffee beans from our family and see Yega Snow Coffee Cochel written on it, it means Yega Snow Coffee Coffee beans from Cochel Town. Cochell is our most frequently introduced coffee from the Yega Snow Coffee area. Of course, we have also introduced Vanago and Jinrina Ambiya coffee, the flavor is very good, each has its own characteristics! )

Yega Chevy was first treated by the traditional sun treatment, until 1972, in order to improve the quality, the water washing technology of Central and South America was introduced, which made the flower and citrus aroma of Yega Chefe more obvious. From then on, it focused on washed coffee. However, in recent years, sun work has sprung up and refined. In the process of scaffolding sun treatment, through ventilation and moderate turning of the fruit, the drying process is more uniform, excessive fermentation or decay is avoided, and coffee beans can fully absorb the sweetness of coffee cherry fruit. Make the flavor more fruit flavor, increase the mellow texture such as syrup. As a result, refined sun-treated Yega snow caffeine has been warmly welcomed by the market, with a substantial increase in demand and a lot of increase in production. At present, the proportion of Yega snow caffeine washing and sun exposure on the market is roughly the same.

The quality and heat of Yega snow coffee also make the price soar, so in the future we will continue to develop the neighboring areas of Yega snow coffee producing area and adopt the good beans of natural farming method, so that coffee fans can enjoy good coffee and save a little money!
