Qianjie-one of the five major coffee producing areas | A brief introduction to the flavor characteristics of African coffee bean producing area

Ethiopia famous representative coffee: Mocha Harra, Yirgacheffe

Facing Yemen across the Red Sea, Ethiopia was the first place in the world to find coffee trees in Arabica, growing coffee almost everywhere in the country. Among them, the Eastern Highland Hara (Harra) produces the famous Haramoka, which has a special wine aroma and acidity, and is equivalent to Yemenmoka, which is a high-quality coffee.

Sidamo and Djimmah in the south are also well-known coffee producers, and the coffee produced is slightly different from that produced by Hara, with a refreshing sour taste and drupe aromas. In Sidamo, there is a community domain name called Yirgacheffe, whose coffee has very charming features, with the aroma of jasmine and lemon, and the special taste as sweet as honey, so it is famous all over the world. Why is the port of Mocha in Yemen, but the coffee produced in Ethiopia is also called Mocha?

That is because previously Ethiopian coffee is also exported from the port of Mocha in Yemen, so it is also named after mocha, and subdivided by different names of origin, such as Mokahara, Mokajima and so on. So it is also mocha coffee, it may come from Yemen, or it may come from Ethiopia.

If you turn all the beans in Africa into a bunch of flowers, Yirgacheffe should be one of the most beautiful flowers.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans. Generally speaking, pure Arabica coffee beans grow on highlands ranging from 4000 to 6000 feet above sea level, while Yirgacheffe grows at 6900 feet (2300 meters, equivalent to the height of Mount Ali), and the forest covers sparsely populated areas. It used to be the exclusive coffee of the royal family in Ethiopia, and today the coffee beans in the Yirgacheffe producing area bring 67% of the foreign exchange to Ethiopia.

After removing the skin, pulp and pulp, the coffee fruit is soaked in a fermentation tank for 72 hours. it is a water-washed coffee bean, so it has a slightly wine flavor in addition to the aroma of flowers.

Yirgacheffe has a very subtle floral aroma, with aromas of flowers, fruits and alpine black tea, a hint of orange peel, seedless raisins and cinnamon, and even dark chocolate with clean acidity, intertwined with soft and pleasant flavors and finish.

Knowledge expansion: the first place in the world to discover Arabica coffee trees. Coffee is grown almost everywhere in Ethiopia, with thousands or even tens of thousands of coffee varieties.
