Description of the characteristics and Flavor of Ethiopian Coffee Bean

Oxfam, a well-known international charity, visited the village of Ferro in Sidamo, a coffee region in Ethiopia, and found that farmers were dressed in rags and had no shoes to wear, lived in shacks of mud and thatch to protect themselves from the wind and rain, and made a living on their own fruits and vegetables for three meals. The voice of the farmers is: "We are angry at being exploited, but to whom should we cry?" Oxfam also allocated an abacus for the villagers: in the six years of ○○, 2432 coffee farmers in Feluo Village produced a total of 300000 pounds of sun-dried beans, with an average payment of US $123. but each person had to hand over US $20 to coffee cooperatives and trade unions to cover related road public construction and administrative costs. To support a family of four for the whole year, it is no wonder that hungry people beg everywhere. Starbucks was kind enough to donate US $15000 to reward villagers for producing high-quality coffee, giving each farmer an extra US $6.20, but it was still not enough to make ends meet. Oxfam points out that 45% of the end price of boutique coffee in central and south America goes into the pockets of coffee farmers, but Ethiopian farmers get only 5%, 10%, which is obviously on the low side.

There is such a local custom that no matter how poor people are, they must have a coffee pot and a charcoal stove. Why? Because the local people think that coffee is something they have to make every day, just like we smoke. Smokers like us, basically, for example, we can skip three meals a day, but this cigarette must be smoked. It's the same with them. They just don't have to eat one day, but I have to drink coffee because they think this coffee is a tool and bridge between them and God. No matter how poor they are, they will have a coffee pot and a charcoal stove. For example, if the guest is a guest at the host's house, then if the male host does not get up after you go in, then you can leave. Why? It means you're not welcome. Well, if the host entertains you very, very warmly after you go in, it means he likes you very much. Then the hostess will stir-fry some in the pan, such as green beans and popcorn, and use this as a snack, and then you will sit and chat with the male host, smoking or chatting. And then what happens to the hostess? She will start stir-frying coffee beans now. They are very, very fragrant. Then immediately put the fried coffee beans on a tool like our garlic tool. She put it in there, mashed the coffee beans, then put it in this charcoal stove, mixed it with water and began to brew this coffee. Ethiopian coffee can be called really very fragrant.
