Ethiopian native species Heirloom

Arabica coffee originated in Ethiopia, East Africa, and there are still hundreds and thousands of wild coffee in Ethiopia.

Even growing in the primeval forest all the year round, mixing, mutating and hybridizing a large native variety bank without counting on the ground, this

The in-situ hybrid is called the Arabica gene bank, and the native species Heirloom (also known as long fruit native species) produced in Ethiopia.

Due to the differences of growth environment and post-processing treatment in different producing areas, the coffee in different areas has a special flavor.

For example, traditional Haramoka, Yegashev, Sidamo and other producing areas have their own characteristics, which is why Arabica coffee has become popular with boutique coffee.

Boutique coffee (1978 Erna Knutsen): "Coffee beans with unique aroma are produced under special climatic and geographical conditions."

Generally speaking, farmers may grow more than one variety at the same time, or they may pick out the better varieties for sale. What is more special is Ethiopia, where coffee is mostly wild or semi-wild, growing in fields, backyards, or under forests. What farmers receive is actually a large platter of many different natural varieties, so Yi coffee beans are usually marked as "original species, ancestral species (Heirloom)."

Wild coffee trees like to grow at the bottom of the forest. The tree species that can shade coffee is called "Shade Tree, or Shadow Tree"; such a planting method is called "Shade-grown Coffee". The advantage is that it can reduce the impact on the ecology, and a variety of organisms will also help to suppress diseases and insect pests. In some areas, bananas and other local food crops are used to shade coffee.
