Yegashefi is one of Ethiopia's finest producing areas. The climate and geographical conditions here are especially suitable for the growth of coffee. It is located in the plateau of 700~2100 meters and it is like spring all the year round (is it very similar to Yunnan, China). Therefore, the coffee planted is rich in flowers and fruits, and at the same time has the smell of citrus and lemon. It is mellow and charming, with endless aftertaste.

This plant, located about eight kilometers west of the town centre of Yeka Coffee, has excellent conditions-it is located in an environment with an altitude of 1900 to 2200 meters on the surrounding slope. The berries delivered by nearby farmers at high altitudes have typical Hafursa/Haru basic tones: washed with water, they have obvious lemon tones, bright and high, and fine texture...

Usually Ethiopia's washing plants use well-ventilated "African Bed" insolation during the drying phase, especially if single/thin layers of shelled beans are used (the sun rule is berries). The high sun and very good ventilation conditions common in harvest season often make the drying rate very fast. Even with average thickness African bed exposure, washed beans usually only need to be washed in continuous sunlight.

Drying can be completed in 10 to 12 days (sun beans are usually about two weeks).

This time, the "half-shade slow drying" method focuses on reducing the heat of sunlight, using seemingly primitive shade nets to block sunlight; of course, the shade rate of these shade nets (25%~ 70%, rather than true "half" shade) varies, and their effects vary more or less…

The key principle is: since the air is already quite dry, we really do not need to let 100% direct sunlight to dry the bed, let the shelled beans be overheated and dried by the sun…After the shade ratio is actually measured and set by Lux Meter, the drying period of 10~12 days can be accurately set to 16~18 days or even 26~30 days.

Flavor: Lemon, jasmine aroma, fruit juice taste, sour and sweet taste, such as fruit sugar taste, acid lively rise, sweet and lasting finish
