Yega Xuefei is a small town in Ethiopia, 1700-2100 meters above sea level. It is located in the northwest of Sidamo Province. It is one of the highest coffee producing areas in Ethiopia and is synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. Strictly speaking, Yega Xuefei is a by-product area of the Sidamo region of Ethiopia (Sidamo), which is independent because of its special flavor.

Yejia Xuefei, nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, is one of the highest coffee producing areas in the world. It has been a wetland since ancient times. "Yirga" means "settle down" and "Cheffe" means "wetland". Lake Turkana, Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo bring abundant water vapor. The Rift Valley, represented by Misty valley, is foggy all the year round, like spring all the year round, with a gentle breeze, cool and humid, and thousands of coffee trees thrive, giving birth to the unique and unpredictable atmosphere of Yejia Xuefei's unique fragrance of flowers and fruits.

European monastic academics opened up a local coffee growing industry, which was later run by coffee communities or cooperatives in villages around the town. There are no special plantations here, and coffee trees are naturally scattered in the forest and countryside. During the harvest season, the Ethiopian Coffee Trading Company goes to town to buy coffee beans collected by farmers.
