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 have been added, which shows that the flavor of these three areas is very detailed and can be subdivided.

Yirgacheff is a very famous small producing area in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia. The coffee beans are harvested from local small coffee farmers, which are composed of a large number of small coffee farmers with an average farming area of about 1 hectare at an altitude of about 1800 to 2 000 meters. Coffee varieties are mainly a mixture of Typica and Heirloom (native species). As this area has many advanced raw bean processing equipment, it has always had a high level of performance in the field of sun drying and washing, with the clean and sweet complex flavors of berries and citrus, which is praised.

In the main local production mode, small coffee farmers will harvest red fruits and send them directly to the processing plants of neighboring cooperatives for unified treatment. Water washing technology was introduced into Ethiopia in the 1970s. At present, the raw beans in Yega Xuefei are treated by both sun exposure and water washing, but the sun treatment has a high level of quality. After first screening the coffee fruits with graded red cherry color, the treatment plant directly uses water to remove the coffee fruits that are not fruitful floating on the water, and after picking up the coffee fruits with sunken red cherry color, the raw beans with shells are naturally exposed on the scaffolding with a humidity of 12% or less, which will be sent directly to the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) warehouse in Awassa. Cup testing, grading and quantity are auctioned, and sun-treated beans are usually stored in the form of shell beans, which are not shelled until they are exported.
