Pastoral coffee system

Yega Xuefei is one of the three official producing areas of Ethiopia, just east of the East African Rift Valley, the terrain is complex, the west of Lake Abaya Lake (Abaya) has been a wetland since ancient times, rich in water resources, birds singing flowers. Yega Xuefei means: let's settle down in this wetland.

Yega Xuefei is affiliated to the Sidamo producing area, which is independent because of its special flavor. In addition to the small town of Yega Xuefei, it also includes three by-products such as Wenago, Kochere and Gelena/Abaya.

The new trading and grading system launched by Egypt in November 2009 divides the water washing and sun-drying boutique Yega Sheffield into Group A with Yega Chefe flavor and Group B without Yejiafie flavor, and each group includes the above three producing areas. Therefore, Yirgacheffe A, Wenago A, Kochere An and Gelena/Abaya A will be more expensive than Yirgacheffe B, Wenago B, Kochere B and Gelena/Abaya B in the new Yegashifi grading system. In addition to washing and tanning, semi-washed Yega has recently been launched, which is worth a try.

We often have too much Yega Coffee Coffee. It is an exaggeration to say: Ethiopian Coffee is a stone, and Yega Snow Coffee monopolizes eight cups. You may ask, what are the Konga, Biloya, Aricha and so on in Yega? This is going to talk about YCFCU (Yega Coffee Farmers' Cooperative Union). There are 26 cooperatives in YCFCU, and the coffee we often drink can be traced back to the cooperatives, which is one of the 26 cooperatives.

A cooperative is roughly equivalent to the combination of small farmers in a village, and the name of the cooperative and the name of the village are almost the same. There are also some villages that do not have co-operatives, or small farmers who sell coffee in their own name without joining the co-operatives. In addition, there are several well-known processing plants in Yejia Snow Coffee producing area, such as Aricha processing plant, Chelba processing plant and so on.

Yejashaffe belongs to a well-known producing area. Sometimes we see a producer in the Yega Snow production area, and it is still easy to find out whether the producer is a cooperative, a small farmer or a processing plant through an online query.
