Introduction:

Kochere is located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia, and the jurisdiction of this area is better 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 have been added, which shows that the flavor of these three areas is very detailed and can be subdivided.

According to the official Ethiopian ECX system, there are 8 Woreda (townships) in Yejasuefei production area subdivided by flavor quality Q-grade, which are Dilla/Bule/Wenago/Yirgacheffe/Kochere/Gedeb/Gelena/Abaya. Among them, the sub-producing areas of Kochere and Gedeb are unique. Jettip is also located in the southeast of Yejasuefe, which is relatively high above sea level, from 2000 meters to 2400 meters, among which the coffee produced by Worka and Banko Gotiti is very excellent. Kochere is close to Yega Xuefei, its altitude is relatively low, from 1750 meters to 2100 meters, its quality is impeccable.

Kochere is a small production area located 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 1800 to 2 kilometers above sea level. Coffee varieties are mainly a mixture of Typica and Heirloom (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, the raw bean treatment in Kochere is mainly water washing, but the sun treatment also 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. The beans that are normally sun-treated are stored in the form of shell beans and will not be shelled until they are exported.
