Description of taste and flavor in coffee farm area of Ethiopia grinding scale varieties

Readers interested in Ethiopian boutique beans can pay more attention to the producing areas of Sidamo, Yegashifi (especially rare sun-dried beans), Harald, Lim and Jinbi, whose rich orange and floral aromas are different from those of Central and South American beans. Ethiopia is a treasure trove of coffee genes, and experts estimate that there may be more than 2,000 Arabica subspecies hidden in the country, but the biggest dilemma facing the coffee industry in Ethiopia is that the output is too low. This is related to small-scale farming and organic cultivation, with an average yield of about 800,1200 kilograms per hectare, which is much lower than that in Central and South America (Costa Rica produces an average of two tons of coffee beans per hectare), which shows that Egypt still has a long way to go to increase production. In addition, Egypt's natural low-caffeine coffee trees are being planted, and natural low-caffeine beans will be on the market as soon as two ○○ in nine years.

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' own backyards or mixed with other crops in the field.

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. At present, the grading is not uniform and messy, because there are also Grade I and II (Grand G2) Yirga Cheffe processed by sun processing, but the highest grade of Harald (Harar) is Grade IV (G4).
