What are the unique flavor and taste characteristics of Ethiopian coffee beans in Ethiopia?

Many people will be deterred from a cup of black coffee because it is difficult to taste and the taste is too strong. But people who have done a little research on coffee will know that coffee from different producing areas will have different flavors. Some coffee will be as sour and sweet as fruit juice, which we need to know carefully and normally. Generally speaking, coffee in Central and South America is the flavor of coffee in the traditional impression of most people, but coffee in Africa often has a feeling of magical juice, and the flavor of citrus and lemon will explode in the mouth. The most famous producing area in Africa is Ethiopia, because it is the birthplace of coffee and the oldest place where the coffee bean god grew up. So what are the coffee producing areas in Ethiopia? Today, let's study more carefully with the editor.

The Yega Xuefei producing area is 1800-2000 meters above sea level.

Yega Xuefei is affiliated to the Sidamo producing area, which is separated separately because of its unique flavor. In addition to the small town of Yega Xuefei, it also includes three by-product areas around Wenago, Kochere, Gelena and Abaya. It happens to be on the edge of the East African Rift Valley, and the terrain is complex. It has been a wetland since ancient times, the ancient saying "Yega" means "settle down", "Xuefei" means "wetland", and Ye Jia Xuefei means "let us settle down in this wetland".
