Ethiopian Sidamo Lion King Rikuo style Shakiso

In the past, the Ethiopian sun exposure method used to spread wild coffee fruits directly on the mud ground for exposure. This method has two disadvantages:

1. After picking beans without special screening and treatment, uneven appearance and maturity are mixed together, the process is relatively rough, so the quality of coffee beans is unstable and prone to defective beans.

two。 Coffee farmers usually find an open space near their home to deal with it, so there are often a lot of impurities or dirt on the ground, and coffee is easy to get smelly.

The improved method of tanning, that is, to improve the two shortcomings of the traditional way:

1. When picking beans, only fully ripe crimson coffee cherries are picked. Before exposure, the beans will be screened for defects in the processing plant to make the beans look more average in size and maturity.

two。 Next, use tall wooden frames or whole scaffolding for the sun to avoid the risk of beans smelling on the ground. In the process of exposure, take good care of the beans so that the coffee beans can be evenly exposed to water; every three to five days, coffee workers will manually screen out defective and moldy beans. Therefore, by the time the exposure is completed, before the beans enter the market to remove the peel and flesh, a bright crimson coffee cherry is already a grade with few defects.

The coffee flavor of Sidamo is very diverse, and the different soil types, microclimate and countless native coffee species make the coffee produced in each town have obvious differences and characteristics. In 2010-12, it won three consecutive high marks from coffee review 92 to 94, which shows the extraordinary value of raw beans in this area! The territory is covered by towering mountains, highlands, plateaus, valleys and plains with a variety of topography. The geology of the area belongs to the fertile and well-drained volcanic soil, which is nearly two meters deep and the surface soil is dark brown or brown. The biggest advantage of this place is that the soil fertility is maintained through the circulation of natural organic matter, with the withered leaves or litter of the surrounding trees and the residual roots of plants as natural fertilizer. This batch is produced by Sirsa Shilcho Cooperative near Dilla Town. The cooperative was founded in 1976 and is currently a member of the Sidamo Farmers' Cooperative Union SCFCU (Sidamo Coffee Farmer Cooperative Union). We have screened the coffee again and again and selected this batch for excellent flavor.

Recently, a favorite SOE (Single Origin Espresso)-uses a kind of coffee beans to make espresso.

"Lion King" from the Guji producing area of Sidamo, Ethiopia, is an ancient native high-quality variety: Heirloom, washing treatment, medium baking.

Different from the bitterness of the regular American coffee or latte, this series of coffee will have the smell of fresh flowers, natural sweet and sour berries, worthy of careful taste.

The coffee beans after harvest must enter the treatment program immediately, otherwise they will begin to ferment, making the coffee beans have a bad smell. There are two methods of treatment: "solarization" and "washing", which will cause different flavors. Sun-dried beans have a complete natural mellow flavor, gentle aroma and more gum; washing rules have a good mellow taste, high aroma and lively sour taste.
