Ethiopian Sidamo-Shirley (SHILICHO) Cooperative G1 washed Bean Fair Trade Association

Ethiopia is the country where coffee was first discovered. Today, there are still many wild coffee harvested by farmers in the primeval forest. Ethiopia is a country with poverty, drought and civil war. However, it is still the most important coffee producer in terms of coffee quality and output, and it is also the best and top coffee producer in the past one or two years. Coffee is mostly traditional Arabica species, with an annual output of about 350000 tons. More than 70% of the coffee is exported to countries around the world, about 15 million people are engaged in the coffee industry, and more than 90% of coffee farms or cooperatives belong to small-scale farming. In 2008, crops produced in Ethiopia, including wheat, corn and sesame coffee, were fully imported into the ECX Trading system (Ethiopian Commodity Exchange) to replace the existing auction and export methods, which actually had no effect on yield and quality. It may be easier to tell whether coffee is good or bad by price. Coffee bean merchants are not free to make satisfactory profits [low price and high quality], because coffee beans that do not go through the ECX trading system will be heavily taxed. Today, more than 90% of coffee is traded through this trading system.

Ethiopian coffee can be divided into two treatments. Washing treatment method II. Natural sun treatment. Nowadays, every producing area, cooperative, and even small coffee farm in Ethiopia produces coffee beans of the above two treatments at the same time, whether it is the well-known Yegashev producing area in Taiwan or the Sidamo producing area. Not only that, in Ethiopia, which is currently the country with the fastest development of coffee, it not only makes coffee different in treatment, but also makes aroma and taste different due to the adjustment of different techniques and processes. Ethiopian coffee beans washed with water have high consistency in fragrance, temperature and soft low-key flavor with low citric acid, while Ethiopian coffee beans with sun-drying method have a high consistency in taste. The fragrance is strong and conspicuous the weak and inconspicuous flavor of citric acid is complex and changeable, characterized by the aroma of flowers or fruit. In recent years, many emerging small producing areas or cooperatives in Ethiopia will sell their own cooperatives or farms in the international market under the name of their own cooperatives or farms. this shows confidence in their own coffee and hopes to establish a brand image in the international coffee market. Coffee farmers insist on picking mature coffee beans and strictly handle every process, whether it is natural washing or natural sun drying. Unexpected aroma and excellent taste, which I think is the reason why Ethiopian coffee is expected by coffee fans every year.
