Qianjie-A brief introduction to the Yega Xuefei producing area in Ethiopia

Coffee originated in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is also the earliest place where mankind has made its fortune. Coffee culture has been around for thousands of years.

Despite the frequent wars in Ethiopia, it has never been reduced to a colony of great powers. Unlike other coffee-producing countries around them, which are forced to grow coffee because of colonization, the people of Ethiopia drink more than half of the country's output every year. It is conceivable how important coffee is to the region. Because of this, the authorities even in order to promote foreign exchange, including the reduction of domestic coffee access, the production areas are not allowed to arbitrarily circulate or transport to the northern areas where coffee is not produced, which runs counter to other coffee-producing countries' efforts to increase domestic consumption.

Ethiopia plays an important role in the world. Apart from being the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia has a global coffee flavor spectrum. Coffee flavors from all over the world can be found in Ethiopia. Yega Xuefei is a famous boutique coffee producing area in Ethiopia, which is located on the eastern edge of the East African Rift Valley. The topography is relatively complex. To the west is Abaya Lake, which has been a natural wetland since ancient times and is rich in water resources. Natural geographical factors have made Yega Xuefei popular in international coffee.

The term Yega Xuefei means locally: let's settle down in this wetland. Local residents even think this is the site of the Garden of Eden where mankind has made its fortune.

Yirgacheffe is located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia, and the jurisdiction of this area is better known as Yegashafi and Kochere. Because the coffee produced by Yirgacheffe has a unique flavor and is widely loved, it has its own classification and has always occupied a place in the global boutique coffee market. Yega Xuefei, located in Sidama province

(Yirgacheffe) itself is a small town with three small producing areas Wenago, Kochere and Gelena Abaya, and because the flavor of the coffee produced is almost the same as that of Yega Sheffield, Golden Reina Gelana Abaya is also classified into the Yega Sheffei area. Ethiopia implemented a new trading and grading system in November 2009. in addition to Yega Xuefei, three new by-product areas such as Wenago, Kochere and Genlena/Abaya have been added, which shows that the flavor of these three areas is very meticulous and can be subdivided.

Yejia Xuefei is popular among coffee lovers all over the world for its natural and unique citrus and fruit aromas, while different manors and processing plants have achieved a variety of different flavors. In this period, the climate of Yejia Xuefei is cool but not cold, but it is not hot in the tropics, rainy but not humid, and the air is fresh and clean, thus nurturing a unique natural flavor. It features fresh harvested beans (New Crop) and washed with water to make the taste quite clean and bright, with refreshing citrus and floral aromas. Because of this unique flower and fruit flavor, Yega Xuefei is very suitable for cold soaking and iced coffee, which tastes like black tea with a refreshing hint of aroma. Hot water cooking is recommended to control the water temperature at 91 degrees Celsius to avoid the loss of part of the fruit flavor.

Washing treatment (Wet/Washed Process)

After harvest, the coffee beans will be soaked in water to remove the immature coffee beans floating on the surface, and the soft coffee will remove the peel and pulp by machine, then put it into the water to ferment for one to three days, and the surface mucosa will peel off. Finally, the moisture content is 12% through sunlight or drying.

Knowledge expansion: as the largest raw bean company in the Netherlands, Trabocca has been ploughing Ethiopia for nearly 20 years, not only bringing organic certification to Ethiopia for the first time, but also launching the well-known "Red Cherry Project" and launching the "The Ethiopian Cup Essex Cup" raw bean auction project in the past two years.
