Yegashev Konga Co-op (Konga Cooperative) Top Solar Coffee beans introduction description

Konga Co-op (Konga Cooperative), founded in 2002, is located in the Yegashev producing area of Ethiopia, with more than 2000 coffee farmers and a harvest area of about 3000 hectares. Because of its proximity to the Konga (Konga) River basin, it takes Konga as the name of the cooperative.

Konga is located in the famous Kaffa forest, and the whole area is a wild coffee forest. There are at least more than 1000 varieties of coffee, which is recognized by experts and scholars as the birthplace of Arabica varieties and the treasure house of coffee genes in the world. Coffee trees do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides during their growth. Although they have not obtained organic certification, they are the most natural organic plants.

Traditional sun treatment is easy to have soil flavor and miscellaneous smell, and the quality is good and bad from time to time, because unlike water washing, floating beans (defective beans) and pulp sieving machines have to be removed through the sink. The two levels of water washing have filtered out most of the defective and unripe beans, so the coffee beans treated with water usually have a clean and bright flavor.

The Kongjia cooperative improved the traditional sun treatment technology. before the coffee cherries were exposed to the sun, they manually removed the immature green fruits or defective beans and abandoned the traditional ground exposure method, and adopted a high-cost elevated net bed to avoid absorbing the peculiar smell and miscellaneous smell on the ground in the process of sunlight. pick out moldy or damaged coffee fruits during the sun drying Two weeks later, after the pectin and sweetness in the coffee cherries are fully absorbed by the coffee beans, the coffee beans are removed by machine, and finally the defective beans are manually removed. Layers of checks can create the smooth and clean / elegant flower and fruit aroma of Sun Yega Chevy / silky red wine texture and charming chocolate finish.
