The coffee producing areas of Ethiopia are Sidamo, Harald and Sidamo, Harrar and Yirgacheffe. Sidamo and Harrar are provinces and divisions, Sidamo is located in the south of Ethiopia bordering Kenya, and Harrar borders Somalia in the east of Ethiopia. Although Yirgacheffe is a community in the Sidamo region, its coffee is considered to be the best Ethiopian washed coffee Yega Chuefei G1 G2 because of soil composition and water content.

The highest levels of Sidamo (Yirgacheffe, Sidamo) are level 2 and level 3 (G2, G3).

Most of the sun-processed coffee in eastern Ethiopia are grade 4 or grade 5 (G4, G5).

In many cases, level 4 coffee is marked as level 5 in order to reduce taxes. At present, the grading is not uniform and a bit messy, because there are also first-and second-class (Grand G2) Yirga Cheffe coffee processed by sun processing, but the highest grade of Harald (Harar) is level four.
