Ethiopia is an important producing area of boutique coffee, and it is also the place where coffee is produced at present. If you mention Ethiopia, you must know Yega Xuefei. Today, let's take a look at the special features of this producing area.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica species, has a variety of native species, and is an important native coffee gene pool. The production season is from October to December every year, with an annual output of about 8 million bags, making it one of the top five coffee producers in the world. The pattern of coffee cultivation in Ethiopia is similar to that in Taiwan, with fewer large estates and mostly small areas of their own, so they are mostly in the form of small farmers' cooperatives. Even so, don't underestimate the weight of coffee in Ethiopia. It is estimated that about 15 million people in Ethiopia are involved in the process from coffee harvest to export. Therefore, coffee is not only a crop that small farmers depend on for a living, but also an important source of foreign exchange that affects the whole country.

Yega Xuefei is famous for its unforgettable characteristics such as its special floral fragrance and lemon and citrus flavor, which made it independent from the Sidamo producing area in 1995. it is no longer just a small town under Sidamo province, but has become an independent and famous producing area.

The Ethiopian ECX trading system has mentioned that it is unable to trace the source of the product, which has led to the flooding of some Yegashafi coffees that are not really produced in the small town of Yegashafi.

Ethiopia's official "Yega Xuefei" includes Wanago, Yirgacheffe, Kochere and Gelena Abaya. The coffee produced from these areas is collectively referred to as Yega Xuefei. So how to choose in order to buy the real Yega Sheffield-style coffee? Through the ECX trading system, coffee beans from the Gaidio region are divided into two groups: group A, which has the flavor of Yega Chefe, and Group B, which does not have the flavor of Yega Chefe. Therefore, if the coffee you buy is Cochel ECXA, it not only means that it is produced in the town of Cochell, but also means that it has the flavor of Yega Sheffield. But it should be noted that even if you buy coffee from the town of Yejasuffi, it doesn't mean it has the flavor of Yejassefi. We still have to look at the cup test results and divide them into group An or group B.

For example, if you buy an ECXB, it means that the coffee is from the small town of Yega Sheffield, but it doesn't have the flavor of Yega Sheffield. How did that happen? It's like going to Nantou to buy Alishan-flavored tea, but it doesn't taste as expected, which is confusing-- that's because most people only regard Yega Xuefei as a noun for producing areas, but in fact Yega Xuefei is a term for "flavor."

Yejia Xuefei was first treated by the traditional sun treatment, until 1972, in order to improve the quality, the water washing technology of Central and South America was introduced, which made the flower and citrus aroma of Yega Chefe more obvious. From then on, the coffee was washed and treated as a major part. However, in recent years, sun work has sprung up and refined. In the process of scaffolding sun treatment, through ventilation and moderate turning of the fruit, the drying process is more uniform, excessive fermentation or decay is avoided, and coffee beans can fully absorb the sweetness of coffee cherry fruit. Make the flavor more fruit flavor, increase the mellow texture such as syrup. Therefore, the refined sun treatment of Yejia Xuefei is warmly welcomed by the market, the demand has increased greatly, and the output has also increased a lot.
