| 01 | production area profile |
Unique geographical environment
Yirga cheffe is a small town in Ethiopia, 1700-2100 meters above sea level. It is one of the highest coffee producing areas in the world and is synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. Lake Turkana, Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo bring rich water vapor here.
Many enthusiasts can not distinguish between the two producing areas of [Yega Xuefei] and [Sidamo]. They both belong to Ethiopia. Generally speaking, Sidamo is a province. Yedamo is a town in Sidamo province. Sidamo is 2100 meters above sea level. Yega producing area is higher above sea level, the highest elevation is more than 2600 meters, and it is also much higher than Sidamo. Yega Xuefei has unique jasmine aroma, bright and lively citrus acid and black tea texture. Full berry and tropical fruit flavors with Sidamo
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. in addition to Yega Xuefei, three new by-product areas such as Wenago, Kochere and Genlena Abaya were added.
Kochere is a small production area about 25 kilometers southeast of Yega Sheffield. The coffee beans are harvested from local small coffee farmers, which are composed of a large number of small coffee farmers. The average cultivation area of these small coffee farmers is about 1 hectare at an altitude of about 1900 to 2000 meters. Coffee varieties are mainly a mixture of Typica and Heirloom (local native species). Due to the relatively advanced raw bean water treatment equipment in this producing area, there has always been a high level of performance in the field of washing treatment, which is praised for its clean and sweet complex tonality of honey and citrus. In the main local production mode, small coffee farmers will harvest red fruits and send them directly to the washing treatment plant of the neighboring cooperative for unified treatment.
Water washing technology was introduced into Ethiopia in the 1970s. At present, water washing is the main treatment of raw beans in Kochere. After screening the graded red cherry color coffee fruit in the washing plant, the peel is directly removed and fermented. After washing, the raw beans with shells are placed on the scaffolding for natural exposure and the humidity reaches 12% or less. They will be sent directly to the Ethiopian Mercantile Exchange (ECX) warehouse in Awassa. Cup grading and quantity of beans normally washed are stored in the form of shell beans and will not be shelled until they are exported.
Since the implementation of the ECX system in 2008, most of the raw coffee beans have been sold by bidding under this system. This batch of Chelelektu is located in Chelelektu, in the Kochere producing area of Yirgacheffe, where the red coffee fruit comes from 500 small family coffee farmers whose average farming area is less than 2 hectares, with an altitude of about 1900 to 2000 meters above sea level.

02 | processing method
This sun-treated coffee has slightly larger granules and slightly lower density and water content. Each coffee from this processing plant can be considered a high-quality refined coffee, which shows better characteristics than other coffees. no matter which method of treatment is used, the coffee beans here can be considered to be the best coffee in Yega.
After screening the available coffee cherries, the treatment factory puts the whole coffee cherries with intact pulp and peel in the elevated shed for sun treatment, which is a way of putting in high-intensity human labor, isolating contact with the ground, preventing the miscellaneous smell of soil in the process of sun exposure, and creating an unusually clean fruit flavor. After more than two weeks of sun exposure, the dark brown coffee fruit is stored professionally, waiting for the whole flavor to ripen. Before shipping, the processing plant will take the coffee beans out of the coffee cherries, and the sweetness can be imagined.
03 | Analysis of raw beans
On the grading of Yega Xuefei
According to the different ways of handling raw coffee beans, Yega Xuefei can be divided into two categories:
Category An is the washing method, and the grade standard is set by the American Fine Coffee Society SCAA. It is divided into Gr-1;Gr-2. The smaller the Arabic numeral is, the higher the grade is. The style of G1 Yega Chuefei is distinct. The flavor of citrus and floral flavor in the coffee liquid is an irresistible delicacy for everyone.
Category B is sun-treated coffee raw beans, with a grade of Gr-1;Gr-3;Gr-4;Gr-5, and the same highest grade G1 sun Yega Chevy is fruity. Opening the freshly baked G1 Sun Yega Chevy coffee bag can subvert people's original understanding of coffee. Only those who have tasted the highest grade sun Yega Chevy will believe that coffee is a kind of fruit.
Yejia Xuefei body variety is a local native species, small grain species, the appearance is relatively round, the bean body is very small, mostly between 14 and 15 orders.
The color of Yirgacheffe Cherry Red Grade 1 raw beans is yellow and green, which is a typical color of sun-cured coffee, with uniform and plump particles and few defective beans.
Roasting Analysis of Coffee beans in Ethiopia
Beans with such a gorgeous flavor are certainly not suitable for deep baking, so the shallow slow roasting method of this coffee can best reflect its round and sweet, rich flower and fruit aromas.
This coffee has relatively small particles, moisture content, heat absorption in the baking process is also relatively large, the Mena reaction process is also relatively fast.
In the first baking, the temperature of my beans is relatively high. Before the coffee beans are dehydrated and yellowed, I use 160 firepower to ensure that there is enough heat to last until the first explosion, develop directly to the second explosion, and determine the development of the area line.
In the second, third and fourth baking, the same bean temperature of 200, the same firepower, in the baking process gradually reduce firepower as needed.
This stove is a shallow roast for quick frying:
Cup test:
Baking curve 2: lemon, blueberry, flower, drupe
Baking curve 3: citrus, jackfruit, peach
Baking curve 4: fermentation, cream
Bake Curve 2:
Using quick-frying mode, the furnace temperature is 200 degrees Celsius into the pan, the throttle is set at 3.5 degrees Celsius and the firepower is adjusted to 160 degrees after 1 minute, the throttle is unchanged, the firepower is adjusted to 140 degrees, the firepower is reduced to 130 degrees, baked to 5: 03 ", the temperature is 151 degrees, the bean table turns yellow, the smell of grass disappears completely, dehydration is completed, the firepower is adjusted to 105 degrees, and the throttle is opened to 4 degrees.
In the 8th minute, ugly wrinkles and black markings appear on the bean table, and the smell of toast obviously changes to the smell of coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to an explosion. at this time, listen clearly to the sound of an explosion point, to 8: 30 "start an explosion, adjust the firepower to 80 degrees, the throttle is fully open (adjust the firepower to be very careful, not so small as to be free of bursting sound), put in the pot at 198 degrees.
The dry aroma of Yejassefi is full of fruit, with strong aromas of dried fruit, strawberry, mango and apricot jam.
Wet fragrance is like sweet syrup, like sticky apricot juice, wrapped in plain honey or chocolate. The entrance is not strong, the mellow thickness is medium, the sour taste is not obvious, but it is lively and bright, like fruit black tea.
04 | Cooking analysis
The flavor of Yejia Xuefei
Cooking method
As for the way of brewing, hand brewing and siphon brewing are the best. When you grind the beans, you can smell the sweet smell of the sun fruit.
Gentle and delicate, sweet and lovely. Yega Chuefei exudes an extremely complex aroma and shows an extremely excellent taste that is difficult to describe.
V60 filter cup, 15g powder, water temperature 86 degrees, grinding 3.5
The ratio of water to powder is close to 1:15
27 grams of water is steamed for 28s.
Section: 27-105-88, time is 1:50 (steaming starts)
Palate: smooth, layered, sweet fermented berries
The flavor of the fermented wine of wet ripe berries makes people not believe that this is Yega Chuefei, but this kind of wet fragrance is not very popular. But from the extremely smooth entrance to the delicate mellow thickness, the sour and sweet appearance of ripe fruit is really amazing, more sweet than any Yega I have ever drunk before. Yu Yun's performance is also quite good, worthy of the "fruit bomb", which can basically guarantee that the mouth can still feel sweet for half an hour after drinking.
Ethiopian coffee bean brand recommendation
The Ethiopian coffee beans baked in Qianjie Coffee are fully guaranteed in terms of brand and quality. And more importantly, the performance-to-price ratio is extremely high, a pack of half a pound 227 grams, the price is only about 90 yuan. According to the calculation of 15 grams of powder per cup of coffee, a bag of coffee can make 15 cups of coffee, which costs only about 6 yuan per cup, which is recommended by conscience compared to the price sold in cafes for hundreds of yuan a cup.
