As a rookie who has just started the boutique coffee, will he feel at a loss in the choice of coffee beans? If you want to quickly understand the flavor level of coffee, but can't accept the bitter taste of coffee at once, Qianjie Coffee suggests that you start tasting the "washed Yega Chuefei Coffee beans" in the Qianjie rations coffee bean series.

Qianjie Coffee in order to make everyone new to boutique coffee, but afraid of wasting money to buy coffee beans that are not suitable for their own taste, Qianjie Coffee put on the shelves a series of coffee beans that show the characteristics of seven major coffee producing areas. Share with you at the price of 25 yuan / 100g. Although it is called rations beans, it does not mean that the quality of this series of coffee beans is poor. After all, this is the stepping stone that leads everyone to the introduction of high-quality coffee. Whether people like coffee beans in a producing area or not, this series of coffee beans play a very important role.

With regard to the flavor of the producing area, it means that no matter what variety or treatment it is, when planted in a certain area, coffee beans will show the flavor of a place because of the local soil. For example, whenever people drink sour coffee with citrus fruits, they will think of coffee beans from Essex and Sheffield, and coffee with mellow herbal spices will be reminiscent of coffee beans from Sumatra, Indonesia. Qianjie Coffee is recommended to start with Ethiopian water washing Yega Xuefei coffee beans, because this coffee bean will not be too sour, low bitterness, easy for everyone to learn and understand the flavor level of coffee.

Yirgacheffe is located in the south of Ethiopia and is willing to be a natural wetland. The producing area originally belonged to Sidama, another famous coffee producing area in Ethiopia, and belonged to a small town in the Sidamo coffee producing area. However, due to the unique floral aroma and sour citrus fruit aroma of the coffee produced every year in the small town of Yegashafi, the Yegashafi producing area was separated from the Sidamo producing area at the 2010 times Ethiopian Mercantile Exchange, and formed the Yegashafi producing area that is now loved by everyone.

Due to the small size of the town, most people grow coffee trees in their own backyard. After the coffee fruit is harvested, it will be sent to the nearby coffee cooperative for collective treatment and exported in the name of the cooperative. At the same time, because the town is rich in water resources, it uses enough water to wash the coffee fruits and produces more high-quality and cleaner acid, so there are many cooperatives in the Yejashafi producing area that are famous for washing coffee beans, such as Tintin Cooperative, Cochel Cooperative, Waka Cooperative and so on.

Of course, the town will also produce sun-treated coffee beans, as well as the now popular special treatment coffee beans. Compared with washed coffee beans, sun-treated coffee beans will taste fuller and have a slightly fermented aroma, while the special treatment rule is to emphasize the flavor of a certain kind of coffee.

Ethiopia, as the birthplace of all coffee varieties, has a large number of coffee varieties, including those that have been identified, those that have not yet been identified, and those that are protected from disclosure. Coffee grown in Ethiopia rarely grows only one variety, and most trees are mixed with all varieties and harvested together, so coffee beans from the region are produced. Except for a single variety, the rest will be collectively referred to as the Ethiopian original species (Heirloom). Also because the direct varieties of coffee beans vary in size, another feature of coffee beans in Ethiopia is that beans vary in size.
