Sunny Ye Jia Xue Fei Coffee Bean Flavor Manor Production Area Treatment Variety Introduction

Coffee is Ethiopia's most important export cash crop and the main source of foreign exchange earnings. Ethiopia's coffee exports account for about 3% of the world market share, making it the eighth largest coffee exporter in the world. Coffee exports increased steadily from 58,000 tons in 1990-1991 to 110,000 tons in 1995 - 1996 and remained at that level for the next few years. Export volume exceeded 110,000 tons in 2001 - 2002 and reached 127,000 tons in 2002 - 2003. The decade-long decline in coffee prices on the international market has seriously affected Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings. Coffee exports accounted for more than half of Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings before coffee prices dropped sharply, but now they account for only about 35 percent. However, coffee prices began to recover in 2002, rising from 41 cents per pound in September 2001 to 52 cents per pound in 2002 and 59.7 cents per pound in 2003, according to the International Coffee Organization. The average price in March 2004 was 60.8 cents per pound, a 50 per cent increase from September 2001. This is great news for Ethiopia.

Yegashefi's coffee trees were cultivated by European monks (a bit like Belgian monks growing wheat to brew beer) and 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. However, this season's dried strawberry flavor is particularly prominent, after grinding the house full of blueberry fragrance.

Yega Shefi, nearly two kilometers above sea level, is one of the highest coffee-producing areas in the world. Yirga means "settle down", Cheffe means "wetland", and Lake Turkana, Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo bring abundant water vapor here. In the rift valley represented by Misty Valley, fog permeates all year round, spring is like all the year round, the breeze is gentle, cool and humid, thousands of coffee trees thrive and multiply, giving birth to the unique fragrance of flowers and fruits of Yejia Xuefei, which is ambiguous and unpredictable.

European monasteries pioneered local coffee farming, which was later run by coffee communities or cooperatives in the villages surrounding the town. There are no special plantations here, coffee trees are naturally scattered in forests and fields. During harvest season, Ethiopian coffee trading companies would come to town to buy coffee beans collected by farmers and eventually auction them for export under the brand name "Yegashefi."
