How famous are Ye Jia Xuefei coffee beans? It can be said that almost no matter what the size of the coffee shop, can see its figure, but also the resident customers of boutique coffee shops. Why is Yega Sheffield coffee so popular? Because it subverts many people's impression of coffee, but also very much in line with the taste preferences of the main force of the new generation of coffee.

As the boutique coffee culture continues to infiltrate into the daily life of consumers, people have begun to show the unique coffee flavor of the growing region in a cup of pure coffee. As a result, some coffee beans with strong flavor recognition and clean and fresh taste are loved by everyone, and the coffee beans produced in Yega Xuefei area is one of them.

Brief introduction of Yejia Xuefei producing area

Located on the east side of the East African Rift Valley, Yega Xuefei is a small town in Ethiopia's Sidamo province. It is about 1700-2400m above sea level and has an annual rainfall of 1300mm. Because the coffee produced has a unique flavor and is loved by coffee makers all over the world, it has been separated from this town and has become a Yega Xuefei producing area. The coffee beans grown in this town are all called Yejasuffi coffee beans.

Flavor and taste characteristics of Yejiaxuefei coffee beans

For the taste of coffee, perhaps many friends who are in contact / first contact will think that it is bitter. But Yega Chuefei does subvert people's understanding of coffee.

Yega Xuefei is located in the coffee belt, high altitude and terrain to create a rich micro-climate and a large temperature difference between day and night, as well as the soil is rich in phosphoric acid. Through the cup test and comparison of Qianjie coffee, it is found that Yega Xuefei's coffee beans usually have a very bright acidity and a faint floral aroma, which will be more refreshing in taste, a bit like lemon tea.

Loved by the new generation of consumers, one is that the taste is more fresh and there will be no burden to drink. One is that sour coffee subverts people's impression of bitter coffee, and this sense of contrast also makes the image of Yega Xuefei very popular.

Because the coffee produced by Yejasuefi is very popular, now the Ethiopian Mercantile Exchange ECX has a new definition of "Yejasuefi Coffee": Yega Xuefei is not classified by the concept of origin, but by its flavor characteristics. To put it simply, during the cup test, you can say, "this bean is good." and then it is Yejasuefi coffee beans! (of course, only if the coffee bean is grown in Ethiopia.)

Yejia Xuefei coffee bean treatment method

Yejia Xuefei has been a wetland since ancient times, and rivers provide rich water resources for the town. Therefore, the coffee beans in the small town of Yejasuefi are mainly washed, which will further enhance the bright acidity of the coffee.

But at the beginning, Ethiopia used traditional sun treatment. After the coffee fruits were harvested, the locals directly pounced on the land for sun drying. But this will make the coffee beans absorb the taste of the soil, creating a defective smell. It was not until 1972 that Ethiopia introduced water washing technology from Central and South America: peeling and pulping the coffee fruit, then fermenting it in a pool to remove pectin, and then drying it on a sun-drying bed off the ground.

Qianjie Coffee believes that the water washing method makes the citrus aroma of Yega Xuefei more fresh and refined, the taste is clean and pure, and can perfectly reflect the characteristics of the producing area of Yega Xuefei, so people began to pay attention to the coffee beans in Yega Xuefei producing area.

Since the technology of making drying beds has been developed, people have begun to try sun drying again. Qianjie believes that compared with washed coffee, sun-cured coffee has lower acidity, higher sweetness, clear touch, but slightly lower cleanliness. Flavor will produce more berry tonality, but also more complex.

The difference of flavor and taste of Yejiaxuefei coffee beans under different treatments

Qianjie Coffee used a cup test of washed and sun-treated red cherry plan coffee beans, also from Yega Sheffield.

The dried aroma of sun red cherry coffee beans exudes strong fruit aromas, with strong dried fruit aromas, strawberry, mango and apricot jam aromas. Wet fragrance is like sweet syrup, like sticky apricot juice, wrapped in plain honey or chocolate. The entrance is not strong, the mellow thickness is medium, like fruit black tea.

The dry aroma of washed fruit and clove coffee beans exudes fresh aromas of passion fruit, citrus and berries. Wet aroma is the acidity of citrus, berries, imported citrus, sweet berries, almonds, tea, with honey sweetness in the finish. Alcohol thickness is low, acidity is bright, clean and refreshing.
