What are the coffee bean producing areas? an analysis of the coffee producing areas in Ethiopia

Ethiopian producing areas, generally speaking, Ethiopian coffee producing areas can take the East African Rift Valley as the demarcation point and evolve separately. The west of the Great Rift Valley, that is, the western half of the famous producing area, runs from north to south, including Zege in Lake Tana (ke Tana) in the northwest of the capital; Gimbi, Nekemti or Lekemti and Iruba in the west of the capital; Limu in the southwest of the capital; and Jimma, Bonga, Teppi and Sebeka in Kafa Forest. The eastern half of the wall is dominated by Harar to the east of the capital and Sidamo (Sidamo Sidamo Sakui Coffee) and Sidamba to the south of the capital.

Due to the obstruction of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, the shape of coffee in the two half walls is different. The varieties of Hara in the eastern half have thin and pointed beans, and there is a difference between long and short bodies, while Yejasuefei and Sidamo, which both belong to the eastern half, have exquisite varieties. Robasta, which is thought to be a small grain species, is not the same as Yunnan small grain coffee. The varieties of the western half wall primeval forest are more complex, except for the length and short body, the bean grains of the northwest Iruba, Tana Lake and Jinbi are obviously larger, while the varieties of the southwest Kafa forest have the strongest disease resistance, but the flavor is slightly lower than that of the east half. The Kafa Forest refers to the pristine coffee forests around Jinma, Tibby and Bebeca, with the mountains to the south.

For a long time, coffee farmers in the Eastern Hara Heights and Southwest Kafa Forest have a bright complex. Eastern farmers claim that Arabica originates from the Hara Heights, not the Southwest Cafa Forest, which only increases the topic of coffee. However, recent molecular biology genetic fingerprint identification has pointed out that the genetic polymorphism of coffee in the southwestern Kafa forest is much higher than that of the Eastern Hara varieties, and the master-slave relationship is self-evident. It may be 1400 years ago that Gayla or Sudanese slaves were introduced from the Kafa forest to Eastern Hara and transplanted to Yemen, which is more scientifically credible.
