What does Ethiopian coffee variety 74158 110 112 mean? What are the flavor characteristics of ALO Hathieu coffee?

If friends have paid attention to the varieties of Ethiopian coffee in recent years, whether it is a raw bean competition or a popular raw coffee bean brand, you can easily find that compared with the original varieties, the numbers 74158, 74110, 74112, etc. occupy more seats!

That's right, these code-like numbers are the names of coffee bean varieties, which means that more and more coffee farmers are beginning to grow these varieties, especially 74158, whose frequency of occurrence can be said to be very high in recent years. So this can't help but make people curious about their advantages. Good planting? High output? Good flavor? What are the advantages that make people start growing these digital coding beans...

To understand the answer to this question, we may first understand why the names of these varieties are a string of "digital codes."

Where did these digital coding beans come from? In fact, these "Ethiopian coded beans" are very similar to other varieties named after their numbers in terms of their origin or naming logic-they are all because the production area has no choice but to explore disease-resistant varieties for research after suffering from coffee diseases. In the 1970s, coffee diseases swept across Ethiopia, resulting in a significant reduction in local coffee production, and the economic source on which many coffee farmers relied for survival collapsed. This led the government to start studying a replacement plan, hoping to solve the root cause of the disease's impact on crops by replacing it with varieties with disease-resistant genes.

So starting in 1973, the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) in Ethiopia began collecting samples for research. In two years, they collected a total of 639 sample varieties, and a total of 13 varieties finally stood out. 74110, 74158, etc. are among them. 74 represents the year of collection, and the last three digits are their own numbers. In addition to 74, there are also varieties starting with 75. Based on the statement on Qianjie, you can infer that they are the varieties collected in 1975.

In addition to strong disease resistance, most of these varieties also have the characteristics of high yield, such as 74110 or 74158. Their trees are short and compact, and the spacing between plants is relatively short, so their yields will be higher than that of most other varieties. Not only that, this series of varieties also has a very excellent flavor. In Ethiopia's raw bean competition list, we can see many times that the list is occupied by digital varieties. Especially the 74158, which is small and round and long, has not only won the championship many times, but has also included all the top places on the list many times! It is enough to see how excellent the flavor of these digital varieties is.

Excellent flavor, coupled with the characteristics of good planting and high-yield mentioned above, these varieties soon became the main target of cultivation by many coffee farmers and brands in Ethiopia after they were released. Because of this, you can frequently see these digital varieties in recent years. But I have to say that the flavor of this series of varieties is indeed excellent, especially when planted in an environment like Ethiopia, which is most suitable for cultivating coffee. It can be said to be a king fried combination. For example, two 74158s on the Front Street bean list have frequently appeared on the popular list in recent years because of their explosive flavors like perfumes. They are Front Street Esther ALO 74158 and Front Street Esther Hamau 74158. Front Street Essi ALO is a product produced by Alo Coffee PLC, a coffee trading company from Ethiopia. The bean seed is 74158, and the planting area is Bansha. The excellent terroir and strict management system have given this bean an extremely excellent flavor! In addition to classic Ethiopian flavors such as citrus and berries, we can also taste pineapples, mangoes, and the elegant fragrance of magnolia flowers!

Front Street Esseh Hamau is a new bean recently created. Like ALO, it is produced in the Bansa area. The variety is also 74158, but its flavor is different from ALO! The flavor of Hamaw is lighter and fresher in comparison, showing high-sweet flavors such as strawberry, guava, green pepper, sweet orange, etc., with some elegant floral and honey texture, and the layers are very rich~Ethiopia·Hamaw Processing Factory Sun Treatment 74158 Production area: Ethiopia·Bansa Production Area Processing Plant: Hamaw Processing Plant Elevation: 1,920 - 2,020 meters Processing Method: Sun Treatment Variety: 74158 Flavor: Strawberry, floral fragrance, guava, sweet orange, honey, green pepper
