Most of the refining methods of Yirgacheffe are water washing (washed), which is fermented and shelled in the washing tank for about 72 hours and dried directly outside the plant. After the raw beans are manually selected and qualified by the Ethiopian Coffee Cocoa Management Agency, they are traded and exported through competitive bidding. Its annual output is about 225000 bags (each bag of 60kg). In the past, it was mainly sold to Northern Europe (mainly Germany) and Japan, and recently it has gradually attracted the attention of North America.

In Ethiopia's coffee grading system, washing Grade 2 and dry Grade 4 are the highest grades, so there was only Yirgacheffe WP G2 on the market in the past.

Note: Yirgacheffe G1 is a grade specially made by Mitsubishi of Japan to Ethiopia Coffee&Tea Authority. It first appeared on the market in 2002-03. The method of producing G1 grade beans is not the same as the general screening, but from the raw beans in the Knoga area with the highest elevation and good soil in Yirga village, which is strictly hand-selected. The size of the raw beans is almost the same, the appearance is quite beautiful, and there are almost no defective beans, and it is more likely to show the characteristics of Yirgacheffe after drinking. Also because of the strict production process, the annual production of Yirgacheffe G1 is very rare, with an average of about 600 bags.

This batch is produced at the Kebel Aricha processing plant, where there are about 650,700 small coffee farmers who send ripe coffee berries here for processing in exchange for cash. After the treatment plant selects the available berries, they are directly exposed to the sun on the scaffolding and are turned every 2-3 hours in the first few days to prevent overfermentation. After four to six weeks of sun exposure, the workers will scrape off the outer pulp with a machine according to the weather and temperature, and then transport it to addis for storage. Usually, sun-treated beans are stored in the form of shell beans, and they are not shelled until they are exported to ensure the quality of raw beans. This batch of Sunshine Eriga is rated as G1 by ECX. It is excellent in appearance, consistency, freshness, dry aroma and flavor of raw beans. You can't miss those who like bright acidity and strong berry flavor.
