Brief introduction of Qianjie-Nicaragua Yushi varieties

Nicaraguan Yushi variety: the latest Ethiopian variety found in Nicaragua-Yushi. It is the latest Ethiopian variety discovered in the world! But the discovery was entirely accidental.

Expocamo, an exporter of Nicaraguan raw beans, has been looking for boutique coffee in more remote areas in the past two years, and the San Juan de Rio Coco region is one of them. At the end of 2016, Expocamo visited the local Finca El Zapote farm and tested a cherry coffee similar to Tibica and found that the flavor was very different from the one they had tried, like ripe papaya.

Farmer Miguel Angel told them the name of the tree was Yersi, which his father had when he bought the farm, which was planted by the Paguaga family of former farmers 40-50 years ago. Expocamo requires that this batch be disposed of separately at the time of harvest. A few months later, Nicaragua Yossi showed a very special flavor on the cup table that he had never seen before. Very similar to the flower fragrance of Yega Xuefei, the cup score is as high as 87 points, while the farm is only 1000 meters above sea level, it is almost impossible to show such a flavor.

Expocamo contacted CATIE in Costa Rica to find out what kind of beans the Nicaraguan Yushi coffee was, and then found Miguel Meza to see if anyone had heard of the coffee and whether it was a variety that had ever been discovered. But no one, including Miguel, has ever heard of Yersi.

Finally, they went to the World Coffee Institute (World Coffee Research) in the United States, where they can compare the gene sequences of plants to see if they match any of the existing varieties.

The results of the genetic comparison came out in June 2017. Yersi is a tree species native to Ethiopia and is genetically similar to Abyssinia, an ancient tree species once planted in Lake Kivu in Congo. According to the World Coffee Institute, Abyssinia can also be found today on a few farms in the Congo, although it is extremely rare.

Niagara Yushi first appeared in the "International Master Class" in May 2017. Miguel took a small number of Yushi samples from Expocamo, full of floral scent, extremely strong floral fragrance, and extremely soft taste Body, which can be said to be Yeshi's floral fragrance to the extreme. After a week, we tested the coffee salon cup in Beijing again and got the same result. It tastes almost less like coffee and more like delicious scented tea.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month.
