Ethiopia, as the birthplace of coffee, has an unimaginable number of original varieties, and these numerous and complicated varieties are mixed and treated, making it more difficult to trace the varieties, so the "native species" is used as a generalization. this is collectively referred to as unidentifiable coffee varieties.

Qianjie Coffee believes that Yega Xuefei coffee beans have such a rich and pleasant sweet and sour feeling, which is closely related to the diversified mixing of varieties. Just like mixing coffee beans, the purpose of blending is to have a stable flavor, and Heirloom seems to be made for us by nature.
