Introduction of Qianjie-Yejia Xuefei producing area

Africa is like everyone's impression that they have higher temperatures and less moisture. So for beans on the African side, most of them are treated in the sun. Because it is directly exposed to the sun in the open space, there may be some sundries, such as grains, small stones, and small worms. The beans processed by it have a relatively high defect rate, but the coffee in Africa has considerable characteristics. The acid is obvious, and then the aroma is also strong.

Yega Xuefei, originally a small town in Sidamo, Ethiopia, is famous for the unique flavor of its coffee and has almost become synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. Ethiopia's geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of coffee, which is mainly grown in the southern highlands between 1100 meters and 2300 meters above sea level. Ethiopian coffee is divided into three major producing areas: Harald, Gima, Sidamo and Yegashifi are from the Sidamo region. Ethiopian coffee is harvested once a year. The beautiful white coffee flowers bloom from March to April, and then the fruit begins to grow. From September to December, the red coffee fruit is ripe for picking. The new season of coffee begins to be exported from November to December.

Here, nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, is one of the highest coffee producing areas in the world. Here, it has been a wetland since ancient times. "Yirga" means "settle down", and "Cheffe" means "wetland". Lake Turkana, Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo bring rich water vapor here. The mode of production and flavor of coffee here is so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of the flavor of their coffee, making it the most famous coffee producing area in Africa. The Rift Valley, represented by Misty valley, is foggy all the year round, like spring all the year round, with a gentle breeze, cool and humid, and thousands of coffee trees thrive, giving birth to the unique and unpredictable atmosphere of Yejia Xuefei's unique fragrance of flowers and fruits.

European monastic academics opened up a local coffee growing industry, which was later run by coffee communities or cooperatives in villages around the town. There are no special plantations here, and coffee trees are naturally scattered in forests and countryside, mixed with other crops. During the harvest season, the Ethiopian Coffee Trading Company will go to town to buy coffee beans collected by farmers and eventually sell them under the brand name "Yega Xuefei".

Grading:

Water washing Yega Xuefei is classified as Grade 1 and Grade 2.

Sun Yega Chuefei is graded as Grade 1, Grade 3, Grade4, Grade 5. (in fact, to ensure quality, there are almost no Yega Chuefei beans below Grade 3 for sale. )

Ethiopia's grading system is not based on the number of items, but on the percentage of defective beans in all raw beans. Grade 1 is the highest grade, that is, the lowest defect rate, the best quality Yega Xuefei, the price is also the highest.

Knowledge: Yega Xuefei made his fortune in 1959 when farmers abandoned the traditional method of tanning and switched to water washing, which is more common in South America, to improve quality and reduce defect rates.
