Yega Sheffield Coffee-Edido processing Station Red Cherry Project

At the end of October 2017, we went to Ethiopia, the country of origin of coffee, with friends from our raw bean partner, China Tea, from our partner DWD in the past two years to well-known producing areas such as Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Guji. DWD has a total of 17 processing plants in the Sidamo area, which is the company with the largest number of processing plants in the existing Sidamo production area. During the visit to the producing area, we learned that due to too much Rain Water in the early stage, the production season of 2017 and 2018 was greatly delayed, which was nearly 3 weeks later than that of 2016 and 2017. But at the same time, it is gratifying that the extension of ripening period has also increased the sweetness of the fresh fruit of the coffee to a certain extent, making the Ethiopian coffee in the new production season richer in flavor than last year.

At the time of arrival, the Dutch Trobacco company was sending a message to the processing plants asking them to specially process some batches of all-red fruit for them to choose from, and the batch selected was the well-known "Red Cherry Project ORC". However, the processing plant is not enthusiastic about these so-called "plans". The main reason is that the input-output ratio is not high and there is a relatively large market risk. Once the all-red fruit acquired at a high price is not selected, it can only be sold with other batches of non-all-red fruit. And the purchase volume of Trabocca Company is still relatively small, and the processing capacity of the treatment plant is too small, which is not conducive to cost control. Coupled with the strict export management of ECX, we must first sell ECX, and then buy from ECX, requiring the principle of first-in, first-out, so that the willingness of the processing plant to participate is even lower.

After learning about this, our raw bean partner Zhongcha communicated with DWD as soon as possible, hoping that they would customize a batch of all red fruits for us, which were treated with water, sun and honey respectively, and asked them to deal with them in accordance with the way we gave them. No matter what the result, we promised to buy it at a price not lower than the purchase price of Trabocca. This year, there are two batches of red fruit washing, which are purchased and washed from Yirgacheffe Idido and Sidamo Shantawene, one of the 17 treatment stations of DWD Company. the elevations of the two treatment stations are 1960m and 1950m respectively. Among them, the Idido processing station was completed in 2012 and covers an area of more than 200mu. It is a large-scale processing plant of DWD in the Yirgacheffe production area, about a 30-minute drive from the center of the town of Yega Snow. The treatment plant is well-equipped, in addition to washing, but also for sun treatment, there are a sufficient number of sunshade beds.

All the red fruits in the washing batch are produced in the middle and later period of the growing season (from early December to early January), and it is guaranteed that the fresh fruits come from the higher area of Haiba (more than 2000m). The fresh fruit is washed on the day of picking, and since the fresh fruit arrives at the treatment plant in the afternoon, most of the washing process is carried out in the evening.

After peeling off the peel and pulp of the all-red fruit, the fresh coffee fruit went into the washing fermentation tank to ferment 36h--48h (adjusted according to the difference of temperature and humidity), and then placed in the drying bed to dry. It is generally dried for 10 days until the water content is reduced to 12%, when the raw coffee beans continue to undergo a temperature and humidity controllable storage "fermentation" time in parchment until they are shelled and screened before export.

How to make Yega Sheffield Coffee [Edido processing Station Red Cherry Project] well?

Qianjie Coffee hand reference: weigh 15g of [Edido processing Station Red Cherry Project] coffee powder, pour into the grinder to grind the particles slightly thicker than salt, we use BG bean grinder to scale 5R (standard sieve pass rate 60%), water temperature 90 degrees, V60 filter cup extraction.

The hot water in the hand flushing pot draws a circle clockwise with the center of the filter cup. Start the time when brewing, brew the coffee to 30g in 15 seconds, then stop the water injection, and when the time is up to 1 minute, the second water injection. The second water injection is the same as before, draw a circle clockwise with the center of the filter cup, and the water flow should not rush to the place where the coffee powder is connected with the filter paper, so as not to produce channel effect.

Coffee powder to the outermost circle to set aside a circle, and then another circle to the middle, 2 minutes 20 seconds, to the coffee to 220g, brewing coffee is finished.
