Yega Xuefei Coffee Bean Story the flavor characteristics and taste of Erica coffee beans

The flavor characteristics and taste of Erica coffee beans in the sun

Gedeo Zone is located 4 kilometers west of the city of Yegashifi and is planted at an altitude of 1950-2100 meters. Coffee from November to February each year is sent to the Kebel Aricha coffee processing plant owned by Surafel Birhanu for processing and sale. The Ethiopian Yega Snow Coffee Aricha coffee treated by the sun comes from the Kebel Aricha producing area and is owned by Surafel Birhanu. The coffee is grown on about 650 to 700 small farms in the Gedeo district, 4km west of the town of Yega. After ripening, the coffee fruit is picked and sent to Kebel Aricha for processing, sorting and drying. Turn these coffee cherries every 2 to 3 hours in the first few days of the sun to avoid overfermentation and mold growth. According to the weather, four to six weeks later the beans were transported with parchment in Addis Ababa, processed and packed in sacks before export. The Ethiopian Yega Snow Coffee Aricha coffee treated by this kind of tanning method is exported through the ECX Exchange (Ethiopia Commodity Exchange) system.

Yega Xuefei is produced at the Kebel Aricha processing plant, where there are about 650,700 small coffee farmers who send ripe coffee berries here for processing in exchange for cash. After the treatment plant selects the available berries, they are directly exposed to the sun on the scaffolding and are turned every 2-3 hours in the first few days to prevent overfermentation. After four to six weeks of sun exposure, the workers will scrape off the outer pulp with a machine according to the weather and temperature, and then transport it to addis for storage. Usually, sun-treated beans are stored in the form of shell beans, and they are not shelled until they are exported to ensure the quality of raw beans.

The best way to drink coffee beans with unique taste is cold extract. The coffee powder was put into cold water, soaked statically for 12-20 hours, and then filtered into coffee liquid by filter paper. under the condition of low temperature and long contact with coffee powder, only small molecular flavor substances, such as flower and fruit flavor, were extracted, while those with larger molecules, such as smoked flavor, were difficult to extract. This perfectly preserves the unique fruity aroma of the sun Yega Chuefei.
