Strictly speaking, Yega Xuefei is a by-product area of the Sidamo region of Ethiopia (Sidamo), which is independent because of its special flavor. In addition to the small town of Yega Xuefei, it also includes three by-product areas, such as Wenago, Kochere and Gelena/Abaya, and the traditional way of tanning in Ethiopia is relatively rough and smelly, which has been criticized. In 1959, the South American water washing method was introduced into the Yega Xuefei producing area. Most producing areas generally adopt the water washing treatment, that is, after the coffee fruit is peeled, the pectin layer is removed after fermentation and washing, and then dried.

Since 2006, some coffee processing plants in some producing areas have adopted the exquisite elevated shed sun drying method, which invests in high-intensity human labor, which isolates the coffee fruit from contact with the ground and prevents the miscellaneous smell of soil in the process of sunlight. create an unusually clean fruit flavor. After more than two weeks of sun exposure, dark brown coffee fruits are professionally stored, waiting for the whole flavor to ripen. Before sale, the sun-dried cherry pulp and sheepskin are removed, and then the unripe beans and over-fermented beans are removed. Strict control greatly improves the quality of sun-dried beans.
