Introduction to Qianjie-Xidamo Guji producing area

The Guji producing area in southern Ethiopia is adjacent to the Sidamo and Gedeo areas, with towering mountains, highlands, plateaus, valleys and plains. The geology of the area belongs to volcanic soil with rich nutrients and good drainage. The depth of the soil is nearly two meters, and the surface soil is dark brown or brown. The biggest advantage of this area is that the soil fertility is maintained through the circulation of natural organic matter, using the withered leaves or litter of the surrounding trees and the residual roots of plants as natural fertilizer.

There are eight main producing areas of Ethiopian coffee: Ekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo, Yirgacheffe.

Ethiopian coffee is highly rated in Taiwan, especially the three well-known producing areas of Ethiopia, namely Harrar, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe. Sidamo producing area (Sidamo) is located in southern Ethiopia.

The industry here is dominated by agriculture, and the coffee growing area is located around the East African Great Rift Valley (Great Rift Valley). The largest town in Sidamo province is Hawassa, which is an important local coffee export distribution center. The coffee flavor of Sidamo is very diverse, because of the different soil composition, regional microclimate and countless native coffee varieties, the coffee produced in each urban area has obvious differences and characteristics. Shakisso is located in the southern part of Guji and Oromia, adjacent to Sidamo and Gedeo. There are many mines in this area, which were used to mine gold in the early days, so there are many potholes in this coffee growing area, which makes it dangerous for people to walk between coffee growing areas.

Shakiso is a unique producing area of Guji / Sidamori, even in West Dharma, which is a remote area away from most coffee producing areas, and another famous local product is gold. Miners, land, race and other factors also caused unrest in the region in 2006. As a result, the biggest problem facing the region now is that ─ needs manpower to maintain the growing area and harvest coffee. Local small farmers began growing organic coffee in 2001 and work closely with medium-sized coffee producers because they are familiar with how to grow forest coffee in the highlands.

The sugar content of the red fruit picked by the farmer is more than 30 before the sun treatment begins. In the first two days of the sun, the humidity of the red fruit needs to be ensured to allow time for full fermentation. At night, the temperature here will drop to about 12 degrees Celsius, which ensures that the red fruit will not be overfermented.

After 18 days of sun treatment, the peel and pulp have been completely dehydrated, and we can easily get the coffee raw beans inside. Pack the raw beans and put them in a warehouse with 12-22 degrees Celsius and 45-55% humidity. After about 50 days of bean cultivation and further dehydration, shelling and screening are carried out when the moisture content reaches about 11% for formal market sale. Rich passion fruit, peach, berries and other features, taste wonderful, unforgettable after trying.

Knowledge: Arabica coffee is generally thought to be originated from the Ethiopian plateau, widely distributed in the tropics, after repeated mutation and breeding, derived many varieties.
