In 2007, the Ethiopian government suddenly forced the inclusion of raw coffee beans in the ECX system.

Caused a panic in the global boutique coffee industry!

Because it seems that ECX intends to regard coffee beans as a staple agricultural product.

If you only look at the production area / treatment / grade, the same batch will be mixed together.

Then the charming micro-production areas and micro-batches in the past will disappear.

And this worry is mainly directed at the best-known producing area of Yega Xuefei!

Fortunately, however, subsequent developments have gradually dispelled the doubts of boutique coffee people:

First of all, ECX made a number of changes. Especially in the Yega Sheffield producing area,

They first hired a group of excellent Q-grader and tested the samples batch by batch using the cup test.

Ye Jia Xue Fei was divided into two flavor systems: Ascarb B;

The so-called Class A refers to beans with the flavor of Yega Xuefei.

Category B refers to "no" beans with the flavor of Yejasuffi.

At the same time, this group of Q-grader also rates these samples, from Q1~Q9,

The best Q1 flavor and low defects are the best, which are the most noteworthy.

Finally, they will produce eight Woreda (townships) in Yejassefi:

Dilla/Bule/Wenago/Yirgacheffe/Kochere/Gedeb/Gelena/Abaya

According to the characteristics of micro-production areas, the collection is further divided into four "sub-production areas" of ECX:

It is known as Wenago/Yirgacheffe/Kochere/Gelena-Abaya~.

This time the introduction of the value of the sun Kocher, is from a lot of ECX Q1 Kochere A

Of the batch samples, selected by the bean selection team after repeated cup tests for many times!

Literally, the beans seem to come from the south of Gedeo Zone.

From Kochere Woreda with a lower average altitude (the lowest is about 1750 meters).

But the truth is,

In ECX systems, Kochere products can actually come from two regions.

(1) it is the Kochere (Cochel / Kouchley) area with lower elevation.

(2) it is the famous Gedeb area at high altitude.

Located in the Gedeb district in the most southeastern part of Gedeo Zone,

It is the highest elevation area of the whole Gedeo Zone (from 2000 meters to 2400 meters)!

The famous village of Worka,

And the village of Banko Gotiti are all located here.
