An introduction to the unique taste of Ethiopian coffee and the characteristics of fine coffee in the manor area.

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.

A large amount of coffee production (95%) is done by small shareholders, with an average yield of 561 kg per hectare. For centuries, minority holders of Ethiopian coffee farms have been producing a variety of high-quality types of coffee. The secret to producing high-quality coffee is that coffee growers have developed a coffee culture in a suitable environment through generations of repeated learning about the coffee growing process, which mainly includes farming methods using natural fertilizers, picking the reddest and fully ripe fruits and processing the fruits in a clean environment. The differences in the quality, natural characteristics and types of Ethiopian coffee all stem from differences in "altitude", "region", "location" and even land types. Ethiopian coffee beans are unique due to their natural characteristics, including "size", "shape", "acidity", "quality", "flavor" and "flavor". These characteristics give Ethiopian coffee a unique natural quality. usually, Ethiopia is always used as a "coffee supermarket" for customers to choose the kind of coffee they like.

Ethiopia produces between 200000 and 250000 tons of coffee each year. Today, Ethiopia has become one of the largest coffee producers in the world, ranking 14th in the world; the fourth largest coffee-growing villages in Africa 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. The export of new coffee begins in November or December every year.
