[about Yega Xuefei]

In the ancient Ethiopian saying, yirga means "settle down", cheffe means "wetland", and Yirgacheffe means "let us settle down in this wetland".

Yega Xuefei is arguably one of the most famous producing areas in Ethiopia. It is located in a narrow area of Sidamo province with a height of about 2300 meters (equivalent to the height of Alishan in Taiwan). Because of its geographical environment close to mountains and lakes and coffee treatment, the coffee planted has a unique flavor, so it is independent from the Sidamo producing areas and has become one of the boutique coffee bean producing areas in Africa.

[revival of tanning treatment in Ethiopia]

In the Yegashafi area, the traditional method of treating coffee beans is solarization, but the previous method of solarization is weak in terms of quality stability, so in 1959, in order to improve the quality of coffee beans, water washing treatment was introduced from Central and South America.

The water content of water-washed coffee beans is generally about 16%, the appearance of beans is better, the relative miscellaneous smell is less, the taste is clear and sour. After 1970, the jasmine and citrus flavor of Yejia Chevy water-washed beans were widely loved all over the world and became a model of fine beans in Africa. Since then, the traditional method of tanning has gradually declined.

In 2006, Abdullash Bagersh, a well-known local coffee trader, could not bear the disappearance of the traditional Ethiopian tanning technique and was determined to revitalize the tanning method, and improved and refined the treatment process in view of the shortcomings of the traditional tanning method.

Because of his persistence and slow work, he can do fine work, which has created a series of sun-dried beans such as Idido Mist Vally, Beloya and Aricha, which has become a trend in Europe and America.

In Ethiopia, coffee beans are mostly harvested from native forests at high elevations, and the varieties are very complex, so they are often named after harvesting areas.
