Introduction to the method of Grinding and Calibration for describing the Flavor of Coffee Manor in Ethiopia

Yega Xuefei's coffee trees were planted by monks in Europe and later transferred to farmers or cooperatives. Yega Xuefei is actually constructed by the surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including: Hafusha, Hama, Biloya.

These mountain villages are foggy, like spring all year round, with a gentle breeze in summer, cool but not hot, rain but not damp, and no cold damage in winter, giving birth to a unique regional flavor of citrus and flowers. Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' backyards or mixed with other crops in the field.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of the famous Arabica coffee beans, and people have always maintained the tradition of harvesting wild coffee beans. The coffee garden with an elevation of more than 1500 meters has formed a unique coffee style after more than a thousand years of evolution and adaptation. Ethiopian coffee grown in the natural wild environment is called "wilderness coffee". It retains the most primitive and natural taste of coffee beans and has the most direct and full expression of the local environment.

It is worth mentioning that most of the coffee in Central and South America is imported, but Ethiopia is a rare native place, and there are countless native wild varieties that have not yet been discovered.

Of the nine major coffee producing areas in Ethiopia, Hidamo and Yegashafi are the most outstanding. Yega Xuefei originally belongs to the sub-region of Hidamo, which is independent because of its special flavor. Its rich and complex fruit aroma makes it an international hit almost overnight, becoming a hot target for experts and expensive.

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).

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 is bordering Somalia in the east of Ethiopia. Although Yirgacheffe is a community in the Sidamo region, its coffee is considered to be the best in Ethiopia because of soil composition and water content.

In the West, Ethiopian coffee is generally labeled and (Yirgacheffee, Sidamo and Harrar) sold on the market.
