Arabica coffee beans

Grade of Ethiopian coffee:

Ethiopia washed coffee Yega Chuefei G1 G2

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 current classification is not uniform and messy, because there are also first-and second-tier (Grand G2) Yirga Cheffe processed by tanning, but the highest level of Harald (Harar) is level four (G4).

Tibica coffee, which is native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere and has a higher yield in Hawaii. Hawaii Kona is on a par with Blue Mountain coffee, with a price difference of only $1 to $3. The bourbon subspecies was introduced to America by French immigrants in the 18th century from the island of Island of Bourbon (today's French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar). It is now widely cultivated in the Western Hemisphere, such as Brazil, and a small amount in Yunnan, China. The caffeine content of Bobang subspecies is 20% to 30% higher than that of Tibica subspecies, but less than most coffee subspecies. At first, the main branch and trunk grew upward at 45 degrees, and with the fruit load, the lateral branches were denser, the fruit was more, and the yield was higher. But the berries are smaller and ripen faster, so they are not resistant to strong winds and heavy rain. Bobang coffee is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to Tibica, with more results and higher yield, but smaller berries and slower ripening. Small-grain coffee grown in Yunnan, China is mainly Tibika and Bobang subspecies. From the botanical point of view of coffee, Yunnan small-grain coffee is genetically close to the recognized best Blue Mountains of Jamaica (Jamaica Blue Mountain) and Hawaii Kona.
