Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans and the country where coffee was first discovered. There are still many wild coffee varieties in the Kaffa primeval forest. The first one given by Ethiopia

The impression is usually poverty, backwardness and hunger, no history, lack of culture. In fact, had it not been for the chaos of the war, Ethiopia would have been a beautiful country with an ancient history and civilization. It has the largest topography of the Great Rift Valley on earth, is the true birthplace of human beings, and is the site of the biblical legendary Garden of Eden, which houses the richest wildlife and birds in East Africa, especially in the largest Avash National Park. Ethiopia is one of the few African countries with an ancient traditional history. Every city in Ethiopia has its own story and personality. It is located in the former capital of Adis Abba, which is more than 2400 above sea level, which means flowers.

There are mainly eight major producing areas in Ethiopia: Ekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe.

Yirgacheffe is located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia. The jurisdiction of this area is well known as Yegashefi and Kochere. As the coffee produced by Yirgacheffe has a unique flavor and is widely loved, it has its own style in product classification and has always occupied a place in the global boutique coffee market. Yirgacheffe, in the province of Sidama, is itself a small town, with three small producing areas of Wenago, Kochere and Gelena Abaya nearby. Because the flavor of coffee produced is almost the same as that of Yega Sheffield, Kochere is also classified as Yega Sheffield. Ethiopia implemented a new trading and grading system in November 2009, with the establishment of the Commodity Exchange (ECX), through which coffee and other agricultural products were made public by this official institution, in addition to Yega Xuefei, three new by-product areas such as Wenago, Kochere and Genlena Abaya were added, which shows that the flavor of these three areas is so detailed that it can be subdivided.

Since Ethiopia is considered by most people to be the origin of coffee, there are more than 4, 000 unnamed coffee varieties in Ethiopia, so when buying Ethiopian coffee beans, most of them will be marked as Heirloom. Coffee beans are big and small, and the same batch of coffee beans will contain more than ten coffee varieties, which can not be summarized as specific varieties in Central and South America. However, a major progress in recent years is that the world-famous raw bean merchant Ninety Plus (or 90+) began to plan to plant a single variety of Yejiaxuefei, also known as VARON (Variety variety + One single). The flavor is quite clean, but the established impression of floral and citrus is no longer so strong, but into a thicker cup of dried coffee and fruit tea, with a more spicy flavor. This kind of coffee has its particularity and significance, but whether the price and flavor can be accepted may be another matter.
