For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Cole Kore belongs to the small high-altitude producing area within Kochere, and Kochere is an important producing area of YirgaChefe, ECX National Coffee Exchange, it is easy to find the coffee classification of Kochel Kochere area, which includes two categories: washing and solarization! Kochel, only the production area mark, if it is the purchase of high-quality goods, but also have to subdivide the levels to understand the secondary production area or processing site (if there is information available), see Kocherie or Kochere do not rush to buy, she may only come from the same area, it is unlikely to be the same source that you have bought or picked before.

In Ethiopia, in addition to private large farms (plantation) and independent farms (ESTATE), raw beans purchased may be mixed with fruits purchased by cooperatives from processing plants, mid-market, or roadside coffee fruit buyers, which means that when buying raw beans with the same "name", they may not necessarily get "the same quality", and there are indeed a lot of procurement variables, so raw bean names are often only for reference. To purchase on the basis of batch cup test quality, especially those who focus on specialty coffee, if the goal is to purchase commercial beans (commercial coffee) or high-grade commercial beans (premium commercial coffee), then through the ECX bidding system, it should be easy to meet.

This Kochere Kore Grade 1, from the Cochel District High altitude small Village Cooperative, this batch is only about 50 bags, all purchased. According to the cooperative manager, this batch of Kore sun Yega snow caffeine contains three native species, and the place also participates in the variety identification and yield and flavor research of the research unit. Interestingly, one of them belongs to the strong flavor type. They also accept the buyer's suggestion to directly use it as the main source of sun-dried beans, and there is a strong contrast with the flavor of the washed beans treated in the village, especially choosing this batch of Cole sun to compare with the Dingtu sun in another area. to make a comparison of the Yega snow coffee sun!

The planting area of Kore small cooperative is very high, with an average of 2000 to 2400 meters, and our favorite Hama cooperative is about the same height, both of which belong to small producing areas at very high altitude. Arrived in the town of Yirgacheffe, although the surrounding elevation and coffee-growing area is easily more than 15700m, but the micro-climate is different, coupled with the impact of global warming, looking for good Yega snow caffeine, it requires patience and multiple batches of test samples, to be able to find superior quality batches and produce in areas above 2000 meters, it takes more time to search, the slow but unique spice sweetness of this batch is really worth a taste.

The 2017 Kochere Kore spindle flavor is strong spices and rich sweetness, which belongs to the strong flavor type. It is recommended for gluttons who like strong sun tone and is also suitable for making the popular cold brew ice drink.
