Qianjie-introduction to the Water washing G1 of the Yechuefi Agarobivtu Valley Cooperatives in Ethiopia

In the past, when we mentioned the famous producing areas in Ethiopia, people would think of Cochel in Yegashefi or Guji in Sidamo, but in recent years, new boutique coffee producing areas are on the rise, and their quality is quite amazing. it also has its own unique flavor, Agaro is one of them. Located in the far west of Ethiopia, Agaro is quite high above sea level, and some mountains are even more than 2100 meters high.

Some of the living conditions of the local people, local small farmers live in the community, each family can not allocate much arable land, so they will grow coffee, bananas, avocados and other crops on these arable land. They will also go to the nearby mountains to pick ripe wild fruits to increase income.

Biftu Gudina (or Bifdu Gudina) is a cooperative founded in 2012 in the Agaro region. Biftu Gudina means "development line" in the local language and is located in the Agaro-Agaro-Goma area of the Jimma producing area. The altitude here is very ideal, the natural environment is excellent, the vegetation is very luxuriant. It was founded with the assistance of the international agency Technoserve and now has about 130 members. It is rare that the raw beans produced by the cooperative have been praised by many famous bean bakers in the world since its inception, believing that Agaro is a producing area full of potential and can compete with the traditional Ethiopian producing areas.

But it most directly reflects some basic conditions of the country of origin. Most crops are naturally nurtured on the advantages of climate and geography, although they must be grown organically without a certificate, and there are no pesticides and fertilizers, because farmers simply cannot afford these costs, even if they can afford it. we also have to find another way to solve the problem of transportation.

Bivtugudina uses water washing to treat coffee. The raw beans are made up of microbatches of hundreds of small coffee farmers who grow coffee fruits in semi-wild or all-wild forests and are traditionally grown organically, even though the washing plant does not have a formal organic certification. The original and rough peeling method used by the cooperative, after peeling the pulp, soaking it in a cement washing tank for 24-36 hours, then washing it many times in running water to remove pectin, soaking in clean water for 12-24 hours for simple post-fermentation, and finally drying in sunlight on an elevated drying bed for 10-15 days, during which time manual stirring was used to prevent fruit fermentation from deteriorating.

This Bifutu Gudina from the Agaro region not only has the unique floral and fruit flavor of the Yega Sheffei region, but also has the unique flavor of the Agaro region, with unique and rich ripe currant acidity, floral aroma and multiple layers, which can bring you a new understanding of Yega Sheffield.
