Ethiopian Sidamo tanning treatment of the Lion King

Ethiopia is the country where coffee was first discovered. Today, there is still a lot of wild coffee for farmers to harvest in the primeval forest. Ethiopia is a country with poverty, drought and civil war, but it is still the most important coffee producer in terms of coffee quality and output, and it is also the best and top coffee producer in the past year or two.

Ethiopian coffee can be divided into two treatments. Washing treatment method II. Natural sun treatment. Nowadays, every cooperative or even a small coffee farm in Ethiopia produces coffee beans of the above two treatments at the same time, whether it is the well-known Yegashev producing area in Taiwan or the Sidamo producing area. Not only that, in Ethiopia, which is currently the country with the fastest development of coffee, it not only makes coffee different in treatment, but also makes aroma and taste different due to the adjustment of different techniques and processes. Yegashev sun beans are different from Sidamo sun beans in aroma, which often gives people an illusion. The aroma is mild, low-sinking, citric acid is soft and low-key, the consistency of flavor is high, and the taste of Isopia coffee beans is won by taste, while the strong aroma of Esopia coffee beans shows strong aroma, the weak flavor of citric acid is not obvious, and the complex flavor is characterized by flower or fruit fragrance.

In recent years, many emerging small producing areas or cooperatives in the Sidamo and Yekashev producing areas will be sold in the international market under the name of their own cooperatives or farms, which shows confidence in their own coffee. Hope to establish brand and loyalty in the international coffee market, coffee farmers insist on picking mature coffee beans and strictly handle every process, whether it is natural washing or natural sun drying. Unexpected aroma and excellent taste, which I think is the reason why Ethiopian coffee is expected by coffee fans every year. For example, the Dutch government-assisted Red Cherry Project (Operation Cherry Red) impressed the world with the magnificent aroma of strawberry cookies in 2008 and Cambedo Manor in 2009, which has been reinforced by the sun beans produced in Ethiopia in recent years.

Local farmers in West Dharma manually select moderately mature coffee cherries for sun treatment, turning the coffee cherries on the scaffolding every two hours during the sun for about 15 to 17 days. to ensure that the coffee cherries are evenly and completely dry, followed by shelling and packaging.
