What are Ethiopia's "flower queen" coffee beans?

Ethiopia, as a recognized birthplace of coffee, has a long history of coffee cultivation and is the largest coffee producer in Africa. Its coffee is loved by many coffee lovers for its rich fruit flavor and floral flavor.

There are many kinds of coffee beans from Ethiopia in Qianjie Coffee. Among these beans, the most famous is Sakui Coffee beans, which is now Sakui 8.0, that is to say, this is the eighth year of Sakuran. So why on earth is this coffee bean so famous?

The coffee bean became famous in 2017, when Ethiopia was hosting the Harvest season Flavor Competition (Taste of Harvest, or TOH) organized by the African Fine Coffee Association (AFCA). When DW Coffee took part in the competition, it gave away a kind of sun-cured coffee beans (then called "Hambella") from its Buku Abel processing plant. This coffee won the championship of the tanning group for its rich berry aroma and creamy texture.

According to the traceability information at that time, the coffee bean came from the well-known Guji producing area in Ethiopia, and the coffee bean was produced by the Buku Abel processing plant in Hambella, the sub-producing area of Guji, so the name at that time was the name of its sub-producing area.

The reason why this coffee bean is called "Sakuran" is that in the same year, this champion bean was chosen by a raw bean trader in Beijing and launched on the domestic market after naming it "Sakuran", meaning "hundred flowers". In addition, this "Sakuran" was chosen by a contestant to participate in the World Coffee Brewing Competition (China). Although it was only the runner-up, it won a large number of contestants who used Rosa coffee beans, was recognized by the public, and had a high performance-to-price ratio. So it became famous.

After the "Sakui" coffee beans became famous, in order to meet the market demand, DW began to set up five coffee processing stations in the town of Dimtu, the core production area of Humbera, and also began to purchase coffee beans from nearby villages to produce "Sakui" coffee beans. By this time, DW is said to have produced tens of millions of tons of "Sakui" coffee beans every year.

However, coffee is a crop, so the quality of coffee production will be affected by the annual climate, rainfall, fertilization and other factors, and the subtle differences in temperature, humidity and sun conditions in the coffee processing process will also affect the final flavor. As a result, from 2018, even if DW grows and harvests coffee beans in the same area and treats coffee beans in the same processing plant, there will be some differences in flavor with the champion "Sakuran" coffee beans in 2017.

As a result, in order to distinguish between the domestic raw coffee bean traders and the original version, each batch of raw coffee beans will be named after "Huakui X.0". The batch launched in 2018 is called "Sakui 2.0", and the batch launched in 2019 is "Sakui 3.0". By 2024 this year, the batch will be "Huakui 8.0". This year, Qianjie Huakui 8.0 has dried mango, citrus, jackfruit and other tropical fruit flavor, full of juice, round taste, sweet like black tea, rich in layers.
