World boutique Coffee beans: a taxonomic introduction of Yega Snow Coffee beans in Ethiopia

Yejashaffe is a small town with an elevation of 1700 Murray 2100 meters above sea level. It is also synonymous with Ethiopian boutique beans.

It has been a wetland since ancient times, and the ancient saying [yirga] means "settle down], and [cheffe] means [wetland], so [Yega Xuefen] means [let us settle down in this wetland]. It is one of the coffee producing areas with the highest average elevation in Ethiopia.

Yejia snow caffeine is washed with water, but there are also a small number of excellent beans engraved in the sun to enhance the charming fruit aroma and mellow thickness.

Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' own backyard or mixed with other crops in the field, the yield per household is not much, it is a typical rural coffee. These mountain villages are foggy, like spring all year round, with a gentle breeze in summer, cool but not hot, rain but not damp, and no cold damage in winter, giving birth to a unique flavor of citrus and flowers.

The so-called 'Yejia Snow Flavor' refers to the strong aromas of jasmine, lemon, peach, almond and tea.

The author's tasting experience has only one sentence: coffee entrance, flowers in full bloom! Just like a flower touches the comfort of taste buds and olfactory cells in the nasal cavity. In addition to the fragrance of the flowers, the delicate mellow thickness (body) is like silk massage in the mouth.

Traditionally, Yejiaxefin is treated by the oldest sun treatment, but in 1972, Ethiopia introduced Central and South American washing technology to improve its quality, which made its jasmine and citrus fragrance clearer and more refined.

It has become one of the best quality beans in the world, thanks to its exquisite washing technology. Since the 1970s, this area has become the most popular water-washed bean producing area in Egypt.

However, in the past two years, Yejia snow coffee is unusual, frequently launched amazing sun beans, and become a boutique market Deep-Fried Chicken!

The beans are small, neat and round. Ethiopian sun beans are generally G3--G5, but this bean is G2 (I will open a new paste for Ethiopian coffee beans), which is equal to the grade of washed beans. Although there are still a few defective beans, they are commendable compared to the sun beans of Harald and Sidamo.

The bean is baked before the second explosion and is brewed by hand and siphon. When grinding the beans, you can smell the sweet smell of sun fruit, and there is also the citrus and jasmine fragrance that is the signature of Yega snow caffeine. It tastes like the three-in-one flavor of Harald, Yemeni mocha and Yega snow coffee water washing beans!

There is a strict standard for collecting red fruits (as a result of coffee trees). Before exposure to coffee fruits, unripe green fruits or defective fruits are removed manually, and damaged or moldy fruits are removed during the sun drying process. after two weeks, the sugar and essence of the flesh and essence seep into the coffee beans, the water content is reduced to 12%, and then scrape the hardened pulp, pectin layer and pods with a planer. Take out the coffee beans and test the density and color of the beans. After eliminating the defective beans, the workers finally picked out the defective beans with the naked eye and screened them layer by layer, resulting in the cleanliness and vulgarity of Yejia snow caffeine sun-dried beans with a strong attractive fruit aroma.
