Feel the charm of good coffee, starting with "Yega Xuefei"

Regular coffee drinkers must have heard more or less about [Yega Chuefei], and even many people started with contact with [Yega Xuefei] when they first started (keng): the first cup of hand brewing, or the first cup of siphon? Anyway, for the editor, it was the first cup of [Yejiaxuefei] that made me realize that coffee turned out to be a fruit, not a medicine.

Five reasons to drink Yega Xuefei

Contemporary Coffee Core | Yega Sheffield is the core of Ethiopia, the country of origin of Arabica. It is a coffee producing area that you must know and taste deeply if you love or want to get in touch with fine coffee.

Yega Chuefei roast | Yega Chuefei coffee beans, which are famous for many ancient varieties, actually contain many varieties of coffee beans of different sizes and represent different water content and ingredients. In order to highlight Yejia beans "fragrant, sweet, beautiful fruit acid", every second is testing the ability of the bean baker.

Yega Chuefei taste | Arabica varieties have a long history, high-altitude planting environment, generations of coffee planting-harvest-processing experience, creating a smooth and rich level of delicious coffee taste.

Yejia Xuefei hand flushing | Yega beans with different regions, times and raw bean processing methods have different cooking experiences. I believe that you can understand it best, especially if you use it by hand.

Yega Chuefei price | popular Panamanian rosy summer coffee. It is praised for its ability to grow flowers and citrus flavors of African beans in America, such as Ethiopia. Compared with the high price of rosy summer coffee, which originated in Ethiopia but Panama, it is not too much to say that the price of Yegashifi coffee beans is the king of CP.

Let's settle down on this wetland.

Yega Chefe is located in Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans. It is a natural wetland, so Yega Xuefei originally means "Let's settle down on this wetland."

Originally affiliated to the Sidama producing area, the coffee beans produced in the vicinity of the town of Yegashefi have a unique floral and citrus flavor, so they are independent and become a famous coffee producing area in Ethiopia. Today, fewer and fewer people use "Yega Sheffield Sidamo" to search for Yega Sheffield coffee beans.

The official language of Ethiopia is "Amharic". The English word "Yirgacheffe", commonly used in the western world, is the transliteration of Zhenggang, so it is translated as Yegashev. There's nothing strange about it.

Yega Xuefei little gossip:

Yejashafi is not only the most popular item in the boutique coffee industry, but even the famous Starbucks coveted the name; in 2004, Starbucks tried to register "Yejashafi" as its brand trademark. this angered Ethiopian authorities and coffee lovers around the world. It was not until 2007, when the Ethiopian government filed an international lawsuit, that the name of Yejasuffi coffee was liberated.

Ethiopia lies to the east of the African continent. The "Gedeo zone area" to which Yega Xuefei belongs is located in the "southern ethnic states" in southwestern Ethiopia.

Yejia Xuefei Grade & Raw Bean grading method

Since the Ethiopian Commodity Trading Center (ECX) came into operation in 2009, the current practice is to classify the more well-known producing areas in the broad sense, including Yirgacheffe, Wenago, Kochere, Gelena/Abaya, etc., into "classic Yega Sheffield flavor" and "no classic Yega Sheffield flavor". Yes is A, no is B. Ahem-- of course, at present, the raw bean merchants who have introduced Yejiaxuefei coffee beans in China do not make such a classification. One day you have a chance to see such a classification, and if you want to try the so-called classic Yega Sheffield flavor, remember to choose A.

ECX Coffee purchase contract (official document)

Category An and B ≠ coffee beans are of good or bad quality.

So, is it a bad bean without the taste of classic Yega Chefe coffee?

No, the grade of beans is good or bad, ECX has a further classification. Not the familiar "Yega Sheffield G1" or "Yega Sheffield G2".

Fresh coffee beans harvested in that year must first make a primary score and get a G1-G3 rating before they will be further divided into Q1 and Q2 grades by testing the quality of coffee beans with SCAA cups.

Q2 highest grade: G1 or G2 coffee beans in the primary score + boutique score 80 ~ 84.75. It is the second highest grade coffee bean.
