There are eight major coffee producing areas in Ethiopia: Lekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimmah, Harar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe.

Ethiopian coffee is highly rated in China, especially the Chinese people are particularly interested in and love the producing areas of Sidamo and Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia. Sidama province is located in the south of Ethiopia, with Arsi province in the north, Bale province in the east and Gamu Gofa province in the west.

The Ethiopian administrative region is divided into four grades, the order from big to small is Region, Zone, woreda and kebele. Most of the names of raw coffee beans are named according to this rule. For example, Sakui, which is located in the southeast of Yejia Sheffield in the Sidamo producing area, belongs to Oromia Region → Guji Zone Guji → Shakisso woreda Shakiso → Hambella Hambela.

Guji Guji Zone was established as an independent production area by ECX (Ethiopia Commodity Exchange) in 2010 because of its superior geographical location and cup flavor. Shaqisuo is the most attractive micro-producing area in the Guji producing area, located in the southeast of Yega Snow, with an average elevation of more than 1800 meters above sea level.

Sakuran belongs to a single farm system (we temporarily call it Single Farm Project, SFP for short)

Huakui producing area: Guji Guji, Shakisso,Hambella Humbela

At present, there are about 20 processing plants of various sizes in Hambella producing areas. Hongshun, as a coffee raw bean company in Ethiopia coffee producing area, has set up four sun treatment plants in Ethiopia in cooperation with GUJI zone Hambella since 2016, and conducted a series of studies on sun treatment methods using high quality coffee varieties in the region during the 17x18 production season. There are four manor processing plants in the core production area of Hambella, namely, "Dire" church treatment plant, "mansa" mountain pond treatment plant, "Bobea" red flag treatment plant and "Goro baessa" mountain spring treatment plant. Goro baessa is a small village surrounded by mountains at an altitude of 2280 meters. December is its coffee harvest season. Whenever the mountains are covered with red and mature coffee cherry, the village is neatly arranged on African tanning beds. This is where Sakuran deals with it. Drima Zede candle

The results of the cup test are as follows:

[Huakui]: the wet fragrance has a strong aroma of green tea and flowers. Sipping aromas of green tea, strawberries, jasmine, lime and sugar. The palate is light and clean, with soft and fresh acidity. But the end rhyme is not enough, only some sweetness remains in the mouth. It tastes very unbearable, like drinking a cup of fruit tea instead of coffee.

At this baking degree, the flavor begins to become rich and solid, the entrance acidity is more elegant, sweetness will be perceived faster, sweetness will be higher, fermented wine, cream, tropical fruits, jackfruit, nectarine, more flavor
