The stability of Ethiopian water-washed beans is much better than that of sun-dried beans, whose flavor fluctuates greatly every year, so be sure to test it several times before buying in large quantities. If you buy good sun-dried beans, their flavor is much deeper than water-washed beans, but if you buy improperly handled sun-dried beans, it will certainly make people speechless, which is the wish of many coffee fans.

The commercial bulk beans of Grade4 or Grade5 are mostly mixed with hundreds of different crystal seeds in different producing areas, so the phenomenon of uneven phase of beans is the most obvious, and it is not easy to bake evenly.
