Ethiopia in the new production season of 2017 has been on the shelves one after another! This coffee comes from Yega Sheffield, and the owner of the washing plant is Beyene Figa, which is located in Banko in Cochel, the next producing area of Yega Sheffield.

The Benafuca Wash Plant buys fresh cherry fruits from nearby farmers at an altitude of about 2100 meters. Each farmer has less than 1500 coffee trees, with an average area of one hectare. All the fertilizers are organic fertilizers, and coffee trees are rarely trimmed. Every day they send the harvested fresh fruit to the washing factory. Each batch of 100 bags of raw beans comes from 150 bags of shell beans, while a coffee tree produces only about 100g-200g.

After receiving the cherry fruit in the washing plant, the traditional Agarde peeling machine was used to remove the peel and pulp, fermented in the flume for 48 hours, graded in clear water ditches, soaked in clean water for 12-24 hours, and finally dried in the African viaduct for 10-12 days, covered at noon and night. The grade of this batch is the highest level of G1.

Small farmers grow mixed varieties, including locally improved Certo or native Wolisho. But most of them are coffee from wild native species transplanted to small family farms, collectively referred to as Ethiopian native species, which are basically numerous native Tibica hybrids, with improved varieties derived from old varieties, to name a few.

Raw bean merchant Nordic Approach defines the coffee as Dhilgee, which is placed in the eight color blocks of the Ethiopian ECX flavor wheel, with red fruit as the reference flavor, which is balanced and round, with a jam taste.

The Fafat-Benafenka Figa treatment plant buys cherries from about 600 small farmers in the vicinity, growing at an altitude of about 1900-2100 meters, which is an excellent elevation, following the traditional Ethiopian method of all-organic cultivation.

The treatment plant adopts the traditional Ethiopian water washing method. After peeling, the peel is removed in a fermentation tank for about 48 hours, and after washing, it is dried in an African elevated scaffolding for about 12-15 days. In the sun drying process, in addition to the continuous hand-picked refining operation, it also follows the traditional construction method to cover the scaffolding for about three hours at noon, so as not to affect the quality due to excessive sun drying. This year, it seems to be the first time that the Faufat-Benafenka Fega processing plant has appeared on the market under its own name, and fortunately, the Nordic bean seller Nordic Approach (and two batches at a time) and the baker Fuglen have also chosen the bean at the same time.
