Front Street-Ethiopia Yega Shefi Breed Profile

Ethiopia has a near-legendary status among coffee-producing countries, not only because it is the birthplace of Arabica coffee, but also because unlike most coffee-growing countries, coffee is not a cash crop introduced through colonization. Growing, processing and drinking coffee has been part of the local way of life for centuries, with coffee first discovered growing in forests gradually being cultivated for home use and commercial sale.

From an outsider's perspective, Isobel coffee has had a hugely complex impact culturally, politically and economically. Ethiopian coffee has an amazing genetic diversity, almost 99% of coffee varieties can be found in Ethiopia. (A recent report in Roast suggests that the genetic damage to the original Isobel coffee variety, due to climate change and variety research, should be taken seriously.)

Another unique feature of Ethiopian coffee is the very high level of domestic consumption, as coffee plays a very important role in the daily life of Ethiopians. Of the 6.5 million bags produced annually in the country, about 3 million bags are consumed domestically and another 3.5 million bags are exported.

The flavor of espresso coffee varies due to a variety of factors, including varieties, processing methods, and the unique microclimate of microbatches. The general rule of thumb is that sun-cured coffee has a more pronounced fruit and dark chocolate flavor, usually with a bit of wine-like characteristics and a better body. The acidity of coffee processed by washing is also more obvious.

Most coffee growers in Ethiopia belong to smallholder farmers, most of whom grow less than one hectare. There are a number of large private coffee farms, as well as cooperatives of small and medium-sized farms, where growers produce relatively small amounts of green coffee beans for commercial use.
