Yirgacheffe has a lot of washing plants that handle cherries from nearby small coffee farmers, and the coffee produced is often amazing, like an empty valley orchid in the mountains. Chelelektu is one of them.

Xuelitu Water washing Factory is located on the hillside, surrounded by jungle, if you do not pay attention, you will not notice that she is there. The surrounding farmers will bring coffee cherries for treatment, and their coffee is grown at a very high altitude, between 1700 and 2100 meters. The mucous membrane attached to the fruit is fermented in the traditional way and then washed in a running ditch with clean spring water. It is then put into an elevated bed in Africa to dry in the sun, and finally, defective beans are screened manually.

Xuelitu's flavor is generally considered to be the classic Yega Sheffield flavor, which is the best coffee produced on the African continent.

□ snow map (Chelelektu), in terms of administrative division, is a village in Kochere, the most famous producing area in the Yega Sheffield area, and it is a fairly large village. According to the description of international purchasing personnel, "the snow map is located at a straight line distance of about 18 kilometers southwest of Yega Sheffield. It travels southward from Yejasuefei, which is about 1800 meters above sea level, and the elevation also climbs all the way to a fork in the road. Go right to the direction of the snow map, and go to the left and southeast to reach Godibe and Waka."

As the snow map is a large settlement, there are also many batches named after the snow map. The beans come from the Mestaway Asfa processing plant north of the city center. Generally speaking, the sun treatment method of the snow map processing plant is quite meticulous and exquisite in the whole Yega Xuefei area. The thickness of the stack of coffee cherries on the scaffolding is properly controlled, and different materials with different permeability will be taken as the bottom of the scaffolding according to different drying stages, and the defects and unripe beans will be picked out intensively by hand during the drying process. The most special thing is that the snow map processing plant will use a movable scaffolding, which can adjust the sun-drying schedule according to the sunshine and weather, and constantly take good care of it during the post-production process of 15 to 21 days, which, of course, creates a stable quality and charming color of dried berries.

Before we talk about Chelelektu, it seems that we have to talk about the producing area of Kochalei (that is, Kochere, which is commonly misinterpreted by domestic operators as Kochel).

The Cochele producing area, under the ECX's production area classification system *, is one of the four producing areas of Yega Sheffei (i.e. Yirgacheffe, Wenago, Gelena Abaya and Kochere). As far as the administrative area is concerned, the production area of Cochele covers a total of two Woreda, that is, Woreda itself and Gedeb**. At the southern end of the large producing area of Yega and Sheffield, one west and one east constitute two major pillars, but it is not surprising that Woreda, which is independent from Cochele in history, is located in the same production area. Sometimes, we call Godibe a micro-production area independently, and it is worth noting that Worka Kebele in the Gedeb Woreda district has come to the fore frequently, and there is a tendency to be called independently.

In today's Kechalei producing area, the largest town / village or settlement is the snow map, which is located about 18 kilometers southwest of the town of Yega Sheffield, travelling all the way south from the town of Yegashifi, and the elevation is also climbing all the way to a fork in the road, go to the right to the direction of the snow map, and go to the left and southeast to reach Godibe and Waka.

Xuelitu is a fairly large settlement, which pales in comparison with the town of Yegashifi. There are also many batches in the name of Xuelitu. Most of the processing plants near Xuelitu may be called Xuelitu. In fact, there are two processing plants in Xuelitu town, but we haven't found any favorite batches here this year. This time the Mestawot Asefa treatment plant, which is slightly north of the town center and even farther than Beloya, is introduced.

During the first cup test in the capital this year, the editor was deeply attracted by the flavor of the processing plant and was listed as a processing plant that must be visited. We left Yejasuefe's hotel at more than 7 o'clock in the morning, visited two processing plants, and then set off for the snow map. The elevation of the town of Yejia Xue Fang is about 1800 meters above sea level. Along the way to the south, the elevation tends to be higher (at the intersection to turn left to the Guji producing area of Oromia Region, the elevation is even as high as 2450 meters). The clear sky is thousands of miles up, although it is bumpy all the way, but still very happy.

The topography of the snow map processing plant is somewhat similar to the Aricha/Idido we have introduced. It is on both sides of a slope across the valley, with a higher terrain at the entrance (on the west side of the photo), a downhill before the end, and a rise of sun scaffolding along the slope after crossing the stream.

The sun treatment method of the Xueli map processing plant is also a meticulous sun treatment method, so it is no wonder that it is eye-catching in the cup test in the capital. The thickness of the stack of coffee cherries on the scaffolding is properly controlled (figure 4), and different breathable materials are taken as the bottom of the sun scaffolding according to different drying stages (figure 5 and figure 4). In the drying process, intensive manual removal of defects and immature beans (figure 6), in addition, the snow map processing plant also uses a movable scaffolding (figure 7), which can be moved according to sunshine and weather to adjust the sun drying operation. The result of continuous care for 15 to 21 days is the charming and uniform color of dried berries in the photo (figure 8), that is, the cup in our hands, with the aroma of jasmine at high altitude and a warm and intense aroma of fruit juice and wine. Charming sun Yega Chuefei!
