Ethiopian coffee flavor description processing characteristics of varieties of production area taste processing introduction

In the highlands of southwestern Ethiopia, the Kaffa, Sheka, Gera, Limu and Yayu Senri coffee ecosystems are considered the hometown of Arabica coffee. These forest ecosystems also have a variety of medicinal plants, wildlife and endangered species. Villages that grow coffee on a large scale 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 starts in November or December every year.

The coffee producing areas of Ethiopia are Sidamo, Harald and Sidamo, Harrar and Yirgacheffe. Sidamo and Harrar are provinces and divisions, Sidamo is located in the south of Ethiopia bordering Kenya, and Harrar borders Somalia in the east of Ethiopia. Although Yirgacheffe is a community in the Sidamo region, its coffee is considered to be the best Ethiopian washed coffee Yega Chuefei G1 G2 because of soil composition and water content.

The highest levels of Sidamo (Yirgacheffe, Sidamo) are level 2 and level 3 (G2, G3).

Most of the sun-processed coffee in eastern Ethiopia are grade 4 or grade 5 (G4, G5).

In many cases, level 4 coffee is marked as level 5 in order to reduce taxes. The grading is not uniform and messy now, because there are also Grand G2 and Grand G2 Yirga Cheffe processed by sun processing, but Harald's highest grade is Grade IV Ethiopia is the hometown of Arabica coffee, and it is in the forests of Kaffa that you can see wild Arabica coffee. In Ethiopian, coffee is called "Bun" or "Buna". Coffee beans (coffeebean) may be translated from "Kaffa Bun". Arabica coffee has long been found in the Harald area, probably from the Kafa forest.

Essel coffee is processed by two processing methods: sun and water washing. The flavor of coffee processed by different processing methods is very different. Generally speaking, the alcohol thickness and soil taste of washed Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Limmu coffee are slightly lower, and the taste of sun-processed coffee is more wild. But the taste of Essex coffee may be different from batch to batch, which requires more cup tests in order to find really good coffee.
