Ethiopia is the country where coffee was first discovered, and it is still the most important producing country and the best in terms of coffee quality and output. Coffee is mostly traditional Arabica species, with an annual output of about 350000 tons and more than 70% of which are exported to countries around the world. About 15 million people in the country are engaged in coffee-related industries, and more than 90% of the farms or cooperatives are planted in small areas. Crops produced in Ethiopia after 2008, including wheat, corn, sesame and coffee, were fully imported into the ECX trading system (Ethiopian Commodity Exchange) to replace the existing auction and export methods, by coffee farmers or cooperatives to send coffee to ECX centralized warehouses, beans of the same grade and producing areas will be mixed together and auctioned directly. You will not know which farmers or which cooperatives or producing areas produce it. In fact, this practice has no effect on output and quality. It is easier to tell the quality of coffee by price. What is affected is that intermediate traders cannot freely track and obtain satisfactory profits. [low price and high quality] make consumers more transparent, because they will be taxed heavily if they do not pass the ECX trading system. Now more than 90% are through this trading system, but for buyers of boutique coffee, the ECX trading system is not a good thing. For this reason, Ethiopia launched the DST (Direct Specialty Trade) system in 2010. The DST system is an irregular Ethiopian auction. Only through the SCAA cup test standard of more than 80 points of fine coffee specialty coffee can you hang up the name of your farm or cooperative and trade with foreign raw bean merchants.

Washing beans in Ethiopia will be distinguished by adding 1 and 2 after the name (with a higher quality of 1). The pulp is removed immediately after the coffee cherry is harvested, and then the coffee bean is fermented in water to remove the pectin layer. this process takes several hours, and the number of hours depends on the type of coffee, producing area and temperature. This process must be closely understood that if there is a slight mistake, the coffee bean will have a poor flavor, and after fermentation is completed. The coffee beans will be washed through a long sink with a high and low drop, and any defective beans and foreign bodies will also be removed during the process. after that, the coffee beans will be dried on the drying bed, and it is also necessary to pay close attention to turning them every few hours to ensure the integrity of the drying process. This is the whole process of washing beans.

Operation Cherrie Red's "Red Cherry Initiative" (ORC) is a project to improve the quality of small-scale farms, mainly to encourage soybean farmers and surprise roasters. Trabocca, the largest coffee bean manufacturer in the Netherlands, invited all Ethiopian farms to produce small batches of beans of about 1500-3000 kg (25-50 bags) before the harvest season. Women can only choose 100% ripe red cherries, which varies greatly in flavor. So Ethiopian women who are careful and willing to work hard are important drivers of the Red Cherry project.

Action Red Cherry is also a reinforcing method, which makes the farm pay more attention to the process of selecting beans. The prices of these coffees are also relatively high. Red Cherry Action has water washing, sun-drying beans, half-washing, half-sun, experimental coffee and so on. The main producing areas are Yegashifi, Sidamo, Penga Forest, Lekanti, Ken Bata, Iruba, Hara, Lim, joining Coroja Golocha in 2011 (near Hara), etc. These are unique flavors and can fully show the flavor of Ethiopian beans. Trabocca will choose from the coffee after receiving it. Farms that have passed the cup test quality test in Ethiopia and the Netherlands will pay a high bonus. The cup test pass score must be more than 88 points in order to become a good coffee for the Red Cherry Project. Trabocca, the promoter of the Red Cherry project, invested all the profits earned in the past few years in the cooperative farm. Trabocca stressed that this was an unprofitable project, so the company only used four people, including the boss and secretary, to carry out the Red Cherry project, and other administrative related matters were supported by the parent company to reduce administrative expenses, and all the profits were returned to the cooperative farm.

Yirgacheffe Yega Xuefei is in the indigenous language "Let's settle down in this wetland." he is located in the northwest highlands of Sidamo province. Because of the large number of special representative farms and very representative, he is independent by coffee lovers. However, the quality of sun-dried beans could not keep up until Idido Misty Valley Natural gave the world a new understanding of Ethiopia's traditional sun-drying flavor. The Misty Valley text will show that this is an area surrounded by clouds, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. Misty Valley Sun Bean is the best Yega Sun Bean I have ever drunk. In recent years, it has been purchased by American bean merchants until 2012, and it is worth looking forward to.
