Qianjie-Ethiopian Coffee introduction

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.

Brief introduction of Coffee producing area in Ethiopia

Ethiopia is not only the origin of coffee, but also an important coffee producer in the world, producing a lot of high quality coffee. So far, many of its coffee trees are still wild plants, so the coffee is full-grained and slightly alcoholic. Various forms of coffee cultivation can be found in Ethiopia: everything from wild coffee forests and semi-developed land to traditionally operated plots to modern plantations. About 50% of the coffee is grown more than 1500 meters above sea level.

Famous producing areas include Hara and Jima. Hara coffee is the highest growing area of all coffee in Ethiopia, which can be divided into long coffee beans and short coffee beans, of which long coffee beans are the most popular. It has a soft taste, with wild flavor of wine, and slightly sour taste, unforgettable after drinking.

Qima Coffee is produced at an altitude of more than 1200 meters and is sold under the brands of Limu and Babeka. Other coffee names include Sidamo coffee from the middle, which is sold under the name Yirgachaffe, and coffee with a unique flavor from Lekempti. Jima and Sidamo coffee beans are not very attractive in appearance, but they taste good.

The characteristics of Ethiopian coffee:

Ethiopian coffee is somewhat similar to the famous mocha coffee. Its domestic consumption is the highest in Africa. In the countryside, it is often drunk with a vanilla called HealthofAdam: the new coffee beans are roasted and mashed with the vanilla, then mixed and drunk in a small teacup, which is often served with pancakes to extract the sweet pepper flavor from the pancakes.

Flavor: very unique, delicate and rich taste, with fruit and wild flavor of the wine.
