It is a famous boutique coffee area in southern Ethiopia, bordering Kenya, southeast of Gemma, just south of the capital, usually sweet and loved by most people. its annual output is about 225000 bags / 60kg, with a smaller bean body than Longberry, with gray in the green, and in the sun drying field in Sidamo.

02 | processing method

High-shelf suntan method

Drima Zede means "Best Approach" in the local dialect. According to the information provided by the original factory, this Yega Xuefei is a series of tailor-made products based on 90 + years of experience. With the support of 90 + technology, Drima Zede only selects the most mature coffee cherries by hand, and the sun drying process takes pains to keep stirring to ensure uniformity. The end result is a very transparent and pure taste, hot and cold varies greatly, and the aromas of fruit, flowers and oak are very attractive.

In the past, the Ethiopian sun exposure method used to spread wild coffee fruits directly on the mud ground for exposure. This method has two disadvantages:

1. After picking beans without special screening and treatment, uneven appearance and maturity are mixed together, the process is relatively rough, so the quality of coffee beans is unstable and prone to defective beans.

two。 Coffee farmers usually find an open space near their home to deal with it, so there are often a lot of impurities or dirt on the ground, and coffee is easy to get smelly.

The improved method of tanning, that is, to improve the two shortcomings of the traditional way:

1. When picking beans, only fully ripe crimson coffee cherries are picked. Before exposure, the beans will be screened for defects in the processing plant to make the beans look more average in size and maturity.

two。 Next, use tall wooden frames or whole scaffolding for the sun to avoid the risk of beans smelling on the ground. In the process of exposure, take good care of the beans so that the coffee beans can be evenly exposed to water; every three to five days, coffee workers will manually screen out defective and moldy beans. Therefore, by the end of the exposure, before the beans enter the market to remove the peel and flesh, a bright crimson coffee cherry is already a grade with few defects.
