Qianjie-introduction of African Yega Snow Coffee producing area

When it comes to Africa, people's first impressions are: desert, drought, tribe, poverty, mystery and so on. Because of its climatic environment, it has become a paradise for the growth of coffee trees. The world's first coffee tree was found in the Horn of Africa. Local indigenous tribes often grind the fruit of coffee and knead it with animal fat to make many ball-shaped balls. These indigenous tribes use these coffee balls as precious food for soldiers who are about to go out to battle.

As the birthplace of coffee, Africa is a land full of game beans, and the continent deserves to produce some of the world's top coffee. African beans have a unique aroma, wild taste, mostly with a touch of sour red wine, such as Ethiopia's "mocha" is particularly wonderful (Hara and Tijima two producing areas with dry treatment of high-quality mocha beans, such as fruit or wine aromas, is inferior to other coffee), Yekashev coffee beans are also very good. Kenyan varieties are delicious, showing more bright and lively acidity than Arabica coffee beans in other regions. Kenya AA is a very famous top coffee bean.

The highlands of Ethiopia are the birthplace of coffee. The traditional drying method is still used to produce mocha-Hara beans (Harrar,Harari,Harer or Harar) at an altitude of about 2,000 meters near Harrar in the east. Hara has a medium texture with a fruit wine-like flavor, and a good Hara is as wild as the best Yemenmoka. Dried beans from other regions, such as Gimbi or Ghimbi, Jima,Jimma or Djimah and Sidamo, are equally wild and wine-like, but not so rich and a little rough.

The water-washed mocha from Jinbi in the west has the same sour wine as Hara, but it is packaged with a richer and balanced feel and a thicker texture. As for water-washed beans from the south, such as Sidamo and Gemma, they keep less sour wine and replace them with more gentle and delicate flavours of lemon and flowers. The best is produced in a high, narrow area of Sidamone, called Yirgacheffe, whose rich taste brushes the taste buds and leaves an endless aftertaste, while the slightly sour taste is similar to Sumatra, swimming in a rich texture; in addition, it adds a unique soft floral fragrance, which is really the only coffee in the world.

Knowledge expansion: it is said that coffee was first discovered by shepherds in Essekafa, and the name of coffee evolved from Kafa, which is well-deserved as the "hometown of coffee".
