Introduction to the fresh and bright flavor and taste of Ethiopian Yega Sheffield Adordo coffee

Haier Selassie was made regent in 1916 and became king in 1928. On November 2, 1930, he was crowned Emperor Haier Selassie I. In 1936, Italy invaded again, occupied Addis Ababa, conquered Ethiopia, and Selassie went into exile in London. The allies defeated Italy in 1941 and Selassie I returned home on May 5 of the same year. He stepped down after a domestic coup in 1974. [3]

During the period of military rule

In September 1974, a group of young and strong officers formed the "Coordination Committee of the Army, Police and Local Forces" (that is, DERGUE, meaning SHADOW, and later generally referred to the junta and Mengistu regime) to launch a military coup, overthrew the Haier Selassie government, and announced the end of monarchy and the establishment of a "interim junta." In November, the "interim military government" was changed to "interim military Administrative Council". In December, the interim military Administrative Council declared Ethiopia a "socialist country", nationalizing land, financial and financial institutions and industry. [3]

During the Mengistu dictatorship

In February 1977, Lieutenant Colonel Mengistu Haier Maryam (MENGISTU HAILE MARIAM) launched a military coup and served as Chairman and head of State of the interim military Administrative Council. In 1979, the Ethiopian Labor people's Party Organizing Committee, mainly composed of soldiers, was established to implement an one-party system. In 1984, the Ethiopian Workers' Party was formed according to the Soviet Communist Party model. In September 1987, Mengistu announced the dissolution of the "interim military Administrative Council", the end of military rule, the establishment of the "people's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia" and the establishment of a new parliament, with Mengistu as president and head of government.

In March 1988, the rebel "Eritrean people's Liberation Front" (EPLF) and the "Tigre people's Liberation Front" (TPLF) launched an attack on government forces, and a large-scale civil war broke out. In 1989, the Eritrean people's Liberation Front occupied most of Eritrea. On May 28, 1991, the EGF troops, mainly the Tigre people's Liberation Front, entered Addis Ababa and the Mengistu regime collapsed.

Although the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee is petite, it is gentle and delicate and sweet. As the hometown of coffee, thousands of years of planting history and processing tradition in Ethiopia have created high-quality washed Arabica beans. Light baking has unique sweet aromas of lemon, flowers and honey, soft acidity and citrus flavors, fresh and bright on the palate. No milk or sugar, let the rich texture and unique soft flower scent brush your taste buds, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Yega Xuefei is a small town, 700-21000 meters above sea level, synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. It has been a wetland since ancient times. The ancient saying "Yirga" means "settle down" and "Cheffe" means "wetland". The mode of production and flavor of coffee here is so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of the flavor of their coffee, making it the most famous coffee producing area in Africa.

At first, Yejassefi's coffee trees were planted by European monks, and later by farmers or cooperatives. Yega Xuefei is actually constructed by the surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including: Hafusha, Hama, Biloya.

These mountain villages are foggy, 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, giving birth to a unique regional flavor of citrus and flowers. Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' backyards or mixed with other crops in the fields. Yega Chefe Coffee refers to the Yega Chefe Coffee, which is produced in Ethiopia. Yega Xuefei is the name of a local town. It is about 1700-2100 meters above sea level. Now Yega Xuefei coffee has become synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. When it comes to Ethiopia, let's first talk about the origin of coffee. In about the sixth century, when an Arab shepherd, Kardai, was herding sheep to the Ethiopian prairie, he felt very excited and excited to see each goat. He felt very strange. After careful observation, he found it very strange. The sheep were excited after eating some kind of red fruit. Cardai tasted some of the fruit curiously and found that the fruit was very sweet and delicious, and he felt very refreshed after eating it. From then on, he often went to eat this delicious fruit with the sheep. Later, a Muslim passed by and took some of this incredible red fruit home and distributed it to other parishioners, so its magical effect spread.

We will not forget that Africa is the hometown of coffee. Coffee trees are likely to be found in Ethiopia's KAFFA province. Later, batches of slaves were sold from Africa to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, and coffee was taken everywhere along the way. To be sure, Yemen started growing coffee in the 15th century or earlier. Although Arabia had the busiest port city in the world at that time, it banned the export of any seeds. This barrier was finally broken through by the Dutch, and in 1616, they finally smuggled the surviving coffee trees and seeds to the Netherlands and began to grow them in greenhouses.
