Qianjie-introduction to Ethiopian Coffee Culture

The name Coffee comes from kaffa in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia in East Africa means "land inhabited by people tanned by the sun" in ancient Greek. Ethiopia's unique cultural tradition, pleasant climate, rich animal and plant resources, important places of interest and hospitable people make it one of the major tourist destinations in Africa.

Do you know? The root of coffee is in Ethiopia. It is said that the word coffee in English also comes from the place name "Kaffa" in Ethiopia.

Legend has it that around 900 AD, when a shepherd in the Cafa region of Ethiopia was grazing in the mountains, he found that the sheep were competing for a kind of red berries. After eating, the sheep were excited and reacted abnormally. The shepherd was scared all night because he thought his sheep had eaten some harmful food. Who knew the sheep were safe and sound the next day. This unexpected discovery prompted shepherds to collect the wild fruit and boil juice to quench their thirst. He felt that the fruit juice was mellow and excited after drinking it. So he began to plant this plant, which led to the development of large-scale coffee cultivation, and the name of coffee evolved from the curry method. After that, coffee spread from Ethiopia to the world.

Coffee is as pure as a thoroughbred.

Ethiopia grows coffee in different climatic zones, so it has more than 140 farm varieties, and fresh coffee is produced all the year round. The quality of Ethiopian coffee varies according to different elevations and regional ecological environment.

Interestingly, Ethiopians also put pictures of horses on the coffee package to show the purity of the coffee. It is said that in the era when horses were the main means of transportation, Ethiopians were proud that Ethiopia had the best thoroughbred horses in the world. Now they give this pride to Ethiopian coffee, "high-quality coffee should be as pure as thoroughbred horses". As a result of adhering to this concept, the taste of coffee here is still so mellow.

Ethiopia has a legendary status among coffee producers, not only because it is the "birthplace" of Arabica coffee, but also because it is completely different from the rest of the coffee world. Unlike most coffee-growing countries, coffee trees were not introduced through the colonization of cash crops. Instead, growing, processing and drinking coffee has become part of the daily life of local people, and for hundreds of years, coffee trees have been found to grow in the wild in the forest and are eventually planted for household use and commercial sale.

In addition, the genetic diversity of coffee in Ethiopia is unparalleled in the world. The genetic material of local coffee is 99% more than that of the world, accompanied by its unrestrained flower and fruity tone and delicate acidity. It is respected and loved by many coffee practitioners and lovers, which is also an eye-opener.

Knowledge: Ethiopia, the least developed country in the world, has been recognized as the birthplace of Arabica coffee, even coffee.
