What are the flavor and taste characteristics of Cochel / Haloba / Shachiso / Bita Manor, the country of origin of Ethiopian coffee boutique coffee beans?

The birthplace of coffee is Ethiopia, which is located in the pigeon garden in East Africa. This time I accidentally pulled another classic coffee to the coffee fair, Ethiopia Sun Yega Gr.1.

Delicious coffee is hidden in a very traditional coffee bag--

Ethiopian coffee can be divided into several main producing areas: Haramoka (sun), Kafa virgin forest (sun), Sidamo (sun) and Yegashev (water washing).

As for the quality coffee, Gr.1 and Gr.3 in the sun, Gr.1 and Gr.2 in the water wash.

There was a revolutionary influence on coffee production and marketing in Ethiopia in 2010. The so-called Yegashev Coffee Farmers Union Cooperative Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU) was set up to provide stable quality coffee beans. Other small cooperatives also have improved production equipment of raw bean processing plants. Ethiopia has a very good stable quality coffee beans in recent years.

The Yegashev Coffee Farmers Union Cooperative (YCFCU), which represents 26 cooperatives located in the Gedeo region of Southern Ethiopia, is located in the towns of Yegashev, Jettip, Vanago and Cochel, and plays an extremely important role in the development of small Ethiopian coffee farmers from poverty to self-sufficiency.

Small coffee farmers in Ethiopia generally have a planting area of no more than 1 hectare, and the harvest of raw coffee beans is so small that small farmers cannot support themselves and their families by growing coffee alone. at the same time, they also need to grow other cash crops to make ends meet. Before the establishment of YCFCU, the raw beans harvested by small farmers were still traded through ECX, and when the essence of ECX is to mix and grade all the products and sell them internationally at market prices, although small farmers can get better profits than before, they can not really get increased profits from the transaction because of excellent products. Over time, this situation is bound to lead to a decline in the quality of coffee beans. The mixed grading system also makes it impossible for foreign buyers to trace the resume and local information of Yegashev coffee raw beans, so organizations like YCFCU cooperatives, which aim to stabilize the fluctuation of coffee prices and improve the quality of Yegashev coffee and the profits of small farmers, are born.

The YCFCU cooperative is a coffee exporter recognized by the Ethiopian government. Small coffee farmers in Gedeo are free to join or not, and it is also a system maintained by grass-roots farmers. On the one hand, farmers are exempted from the unequal treatment of being peeled off by private treatment plants, on the other hand, it also provides a channel for international buyers to face village cooperatives directly. In an economically backward area like this, it is very difficult for small farmers to have extra funds to buy chemical fertilizers, so they all grow coffee with natural and organic farming methods. Ethiopia has a large area of natural wild forest, and 90% of coffee-growing land can be found in the forest. The use of natural shading and intercropping methods contribute to the development of Yekashev coffee flavor and achieve excellent farming results and sustainable management.

The establishment of the YCFCU cooperative achieves the goal that international buyers are eager for Ethiopian coffee to provide a complete resume from origin to cup, and also enables cooperative members to gradually improve the education and quality of life in the village because of reasonable profits.

Kafabita Manor, Ethiopia

Bita Manor is located in the Kafa forest area southwest of Ethiopia. To this day, the Kafa forest still maintains the forest appearance of the traditional Isobian primitive forest, while retaining a considerable number of native coffee varieties. Many cup testers who have tested the Kafa producing area agree that this producing area has a considerable variety of flavor performance. In early 2016, the Shoucheng Coffee team went to Ethiopia to discuss the treatment of exquisite sun-cured coffee directly with the owner of Bita Manor, while confirming that the manor had the relevant conditions and processes for dealing with exquisite sun exposure. Bita Manor strictly selects the most appropriate red coffee fruit for sun treatment, while the owner provides training related to the harvest of coffee red fruit, and increases wages to reward workers to harvest the best red coffee fruit. At the same time, African scaffolding is used in the sun treatment to provide better ventilation to maintain the cleanliness of the sun-baked coffee.

Ethiopia single Manor Project

For many years, the vast majority of coffee in Ethiopia has been purchased through the E.C.X trading system, while the single estate project aims to establish a closer relationship with the producing area through a direct transaction with the owner, while at the same time ensuring that the owner of the high-quality coffee is paid accordingly. In addition, the manor information can provide consumers with more accurate relevant information.
