Last Updated: 2024/11/05, In the fifties and sixties of this century, many African countries became independent one after another and adopted green, yellow and red as the colors of the national flag, so they were called pan-African colors. Ethiopia is one of the ancient countries in Africa, with a long history of more than 3000 years, giving green, yellow and red colors deeper roots in this land. Historically, they are closely related to the liturgy of the Coptic church.

By the 1950s and 1960s, many African countries had become independent one after another, and they adopted green, yellow and red as their national flags, so they were called "pan-African colors". Ethiopia is one of the ancient African countries, with a long history of more than 3000 years, giving green, yellow and red three colors a deeper origin in this land. Historically, they have been associated with the liturgy of the Coptic Church, enshrined as symbols of the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, embodying the three virtues of loyalty, hope and mercy advocated by human freedom. These three colors also represent three regions of Ethiopia: Tikrit (red), Amhara (yellow), and Theoya (green). Green represents fertile land, mild climate and abundant plant resources, but also a symbol of hope for the future; yellow symbolizes peace and fraternity, but also represents the determination of the people to build the country; red symbolizes that the people are ready to shed blood to defend the motherland.

There is no national emblem on the original flag. On August 22, 1995, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was established, and the national emblem was added to the center of the new national flag.

Strictly speaking, Yejia Shefei is a sub-producing area in Sidamo Province of West Damo, Ethiopia. It is located in the northwest of Sidamo and is one of the highest coffee producing areas in Ethiopia. However, the production method and flavor here are so prominent that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of their own coffee with Yegashefi flavor, so they are independent from the West Damo production area and become the most famous production area in Africa.

Initially, Yegashefi's coffee trees were cultivated by European monks (a bit like Belgian monks growing wheat to brew beer), but later by farmers or cooperatives. Yerga Shefi is actually constructed by surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including Idido, Harfusa, Hama, and Biloa near Misty Valley, all washed, but a small number of unique beans are deliberately sunburned to enhance the charming fruity flavor and body. These mountain villages are foggy, spring all year round, cool but not hot in summer, rain but not damp in winter, and they have a unique regional flavor of citrus and flowers. Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers 'backyards or mixed with other crops in the field. The yield per household is not much. It is a typical pastoral coffee. Yega Shefi award-winning beans almost come from the coffee villages and communities mentioned above.

The so-called "yejia sherry flavor" refers to rich jasmine flowers, lemon or lime acid aroma, as well as peach, almond sweet or tea aroma. And, this season, the blueberry flavor of dried snow is especially prominent. After grinding, the blueberry fragrance fills the house.
