Introduction to the characteristics of the manor producing area of Ethiopian boutique coffee with rich flavor and aromatic taste

Ethiopian coffee beans grow in close to the natural environment, after years of planting under the same growth conditions, Ethiopian coffee beans have gradually adapted to the environment here. More than 60% of coffee beans are grown in forests or semi-forests.

Large-scale coffee-growing villages account for about 35% of the country's total coffee production. These coffee farms, which use a multi-tier coffee planting system, are carefully cared for. Coffee farmers do not use chemical fertilizers, but use fallen leaves and animal and plant debris to increase soil nutrition. In addition to coffee, farmers also frequently grow non-coffee crops. Even manor coffee (coffee produced by state-owned farms), which accounts for 5% of the country's total coffee production, shows the characteristics of forest coffee production.

Located in the most advantaged natural conditions, Ethiopia produces unique high-quality coffee every year. Ethiopia's coffee growing cycle brings the joy of harvest to the country every year. Beautiful white coffee flowers will bloom and bear fruit every year from March to April. Only the reddest and ripe fruits are selected as coffee ingredients between September and about December. Exports of new coffee begin in November or December each year in the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia, and the Kaffa, Sheka, Gera, Limu and Yayu Senri coffee ecosystems are considered the hometown of Arabica coffee. These forest ecosystems also have a variety of medicinal plants, wild animals and endangered species.

The highlands of western Ethiopia have given birth to new varieties of coffee that are resistant to fruit disease or leaf rust. Ethiopia has many world-famous types of coffee. Some of the major types of coffee are famous for their unique aroma and flavor, including the following:

High quality assurance is reflected in the timely and strict selection of ripe and reddest coffee fruits. Picked coffee needs to be protected from direct sunlight, and the picked fruit is concentrated in a bamboo basket to avoid contact with the soil.

The picked fruit is washed in clean water and preserved under water to improve the flavor and color of coffee beans. The processing process begins with hand selection, washed by machine and made into pulp on the day of harvest, followed by natural fermentation and sun exposure, in order to meet the best humidity standards. After machine processing, these coffee beans are painstakingly and carefully hand-selected and packaged. This kind of processing is carried out in a regular factory with modern equipment and business license, which is finally rated manually and stored in a well-equipped warehouse. Ethiopia exports high-quality coffee to all parts of the world every year. Ethiopia pursues strict quality assurance measures, including visual monitoring and taste taste, so as to ensure zero defect export quality, full fruit and rich aroma.
