What is the flavor of Ethiopian Yega Shefei using different treatments? Introduction to washed Kocher and sun-cured red cherry coffee beans
When it comes to African coffee, many people think of Ethiopia because it is recognized as the birthplace of Arabica coffee. Especially in the Yirgacheffe producing area, the coffee produced in this area is deeply loved by many coffee lovers for its unique and elegant flower aroma and bright and fresh fruit acidity.
In Qianjie Coffee, there are many kinds of coffee beans from the Yega Sheffield area, most of which are treated with traditional tanning and water washing, so what is the difference between the two different treatments?
In terms of administrative division, Yejasuefei is a town under the Gedeo Zone region, which covers an area of about 1600 square kilometers. Coffee is the most important crop in Yejasuefei. There are many well-known villages under its jurisdiction, such as Aricha and Konga. The coffee farmers in these villages plant coffee trees in their own backyard. During the harvest season, the farmers hand them over to nearby treatment stations or cooperatives for processing, and the coffee they produce is named after their place names or treatment stations.
According to the official definition of the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Administration, Yejasuefei was once part of the coffee producing area of Sidamo, but it was later divided into a coffee producing area independently because of its unique flavor. According to the official definition, several towns around Yejasuefe that are close to the coffee quality are also included in the Yejasuefei producing area, such as the famous towns of Wenago, Kochere and Gedeb.

Yejia Xuefei is located in the south-central part of the country and belongs to the Great Rift Valley region of East Africa, so the terrain here is complex and diverse, with more mountains and volcanoes, coffee cultivation on the slopes of 1750-2200 meters above sea level, fertile land, rich water resources and plenty of sunshine, with unique conditions for growing coffee. Ethiopia also attaches great importance to the coffee industry in the Yega Sheffield region, and the government applied for a patent for the name "Yirgacheffe" in 2004.
Ethiopia has been growing coffee for thousands of years, first using the ancient sun treatment, and then introducing water washing treatment in 1972. However, in the following time, due to the heavy use of water in the washing process, which can reduce the defect rate of coffee and make the flavor cleaner, so the local water washing treatment is used more frequently.
On the front street, there are washed coffee beans from Yega Fischer. After brewing, you can smell the aroma of jasmine. The entrance will have the sweet and sour flavor of tropical fruit, lemon and citrus flavor, and the overall taste is smooth.
However, there are also farmers who prefer sun treatment, through improved sun treatment to improve the flavor, reduce defects, sun treatment also returned to everyone's field of vision. The red cherry coffee beans on Qianjie Street are from the Yega Sheffield area and are sun-treated. After brewing, they will smell slightly fermented fruit, fresh lemon acidity, berry and strawberry flavor, and refreshing taste.

In fact, the most essential difference between the washing treatment and the sun treatment is that the washing treatment is cleaner and fresher in the taste, while the sun treatment retains the flavor of the flesh, which is relatively rich and rich.
