The coast of the Red Sea is a narrow banded plain. Deserts and semi-deserts in the north, south and north-east account for about 25% of the country's area. The Dashan peak of the Ximen Mountains is 4623 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Ethiopia. [6]

Climate

The heavy rainy season is from June to September, the dry season is from October to January, and the light rainy season is from February to May. Due to uneven rainfall in different seasons and regions, local drought is easy to occur. The temperature ranges from 9.7 ℃ to 25.5 ℃. The average annual temperature is 16 ℃. [5]

Planting system and environment

The cool and foggy mountain stream village in the Yega-Xuefei producing area is like spring all year round, with a gentle breeze in summer, cool but not hot, rain but not damp, and no cold damage in winter, making it the best environment for planting Arabica. There are no large coffee plantations. Coffee farmers grow coffee mixed with other crops, generally under banana trees, forming a unique landscape. Ethiopia's traditional sun treatment is rough and smelly, which has been criticized. In 1959, the South American water washing method was introduced into the Yega Xuefei producing area. Most producing areas generally adopt the water washing treatment, that is, after the coffee fruit is peeled, the pectin layer is removed after fermentation and washing, and then dried.

Since 2006, some coffee processing plants in some producing areas have adopted the exquisite elevated shed sun drying method, which invests in high-intensity human labor, which isolates the coffee fruit from contact with the ground and prevents the miscellaneous smell of soil in the process of sunlight. create an unusually clean fruit flavor. After more than two weeks of sun exposure, dark brown coffee fruits are professionally stored, waiting for the whole flavor to ripen. Before sale, the dried cherry pulp and sheepskin are removed, and then the unripe beans and over-fermented beans are removed. Strict control greatly improves the quality and flavor characteristics of sun-dried beans.
