Ethiopian coffee is graded not according to the number of seeds, but according to the proportion of defective beans in the raw beans. In October 2009, Ethiopia launched the ECX Fine Coffee Trading Grading System. Q-Grader rated green beans as follows:

There are two grades of Grade 1 and Grade 2.

Grade 1 is the highest grade, that is, the lowest defect rate, the best quality of the Yerga Shefi flavor characteristics

Ethiopia's traditional way of sun treatment is rough and heavy, which is criticized by people. In 1959, Yejia Shefei production area introduced South American washing treatment method, most production areas are generally used washing treatment, that is, coffee fruit peeling, fermentation, washing process after removing pectin layer, and then drying.

Since 2006, some coffee processing plants in some producing areas have adopted exquisite overhead solarization, which involves intensive manual labor to isolate the coffee fruit from contact with the ground and prevent the dirt from being produced in the process of solarization, creating an unusually clean fruit flavor. After more than two weeks of sun exposure, the dark brown coffee cherries are professionally stored, waiting for the full flavor to ripen. Before sale, the dried cherry pulp and sheepskin are removed, and then the immature beans and over-fermented beans are removed. Strict control greatly improves the quality of the sun-dried beans. Cultivation system and environment

The mountain villages in the Yega Shefi region are cool and foggy, spring all year round, cool but not hot in summer, rainy but not damp in winter, and the best environment for planting Arabica. There are no large-scale coffee plantations here. Coffee farmers mix coffee with other crops and generally plant it under banana trees to form a unique landscape. Yejia Shefei is a small town in Ethiopia, 1700-2100 meters above sea level. It is located in the northwest of West Damo Province, near mountains and lakes. It is one of the highest coffee producing areas in Ethiopia and synonymous with Ethiopian fine coffee.

Strictly speaking, Yejia Shefei is a sub-production area of Sidamo in Ethiopia, which is independent due to its special flavor. In addition to Yejia Shefei Town, it also includes three sub-production areas such as Wenago, Kochere and Gelena/Abaya.
