Yega Xuefei is a small town, 700-2100 meters above sea level, synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee. It has been a wetland since ancient times. The ancient saying "Yirga" means "settle down" and "Cheffe" means "wetland". The mode of production and flavor of coffee here are so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to take pride in the flavor of their coffee, making it the most famous coffee producing area in Africa.

In Ethiopia, the grading and quality control system of coffee is divided into three levels: producer, regional and national. All coffee is inspected by local inspection agencies before leaving the country of origin, and then re-tested at the coffee inspection and grading centers in Addis and Diredawa to determine its quality grade. Coffee is graded before auction and sale and is important for all groups involved in production, acquisition, export and consumption. Before export, coffee must also be sent to a national quality control agency for inspection to confirm that the origin and color meet the export standards to ensure the reputation of Ethiopian coffee.

It is usually a teenage girl who prepares coffee for everyone at home. She first grabbed a handful of light green raw coffee beans, put them in a small iron pot on the charcoal stove, scooped up clean water, and scrubbed them with both hands. Then roast the coffee beans with a small wooden shovel, and soon the coffee beans begin to turn dark black and emit an attractive fragrance. When the girl thought it was time for the fire, she picked up the handle of the iron pot and shook the smoky coffee beans and sent them to everyone for everyone to smell. After everyone nodded and said yes, she poured the cooked beans into a small mortar and pounded them with a big iron bar nearly one meter long and as thick as the child's arm. Soon, the handful of beans was mashed into powder.

The girl scraped out the powder little by little with a small wooden spoon and poured it into a clay pot with a thin neck, bulging belly and big ears, added clean water, and boiled it on a small stove. The water soon boiled and boiled for a while, and the fragrance overflowed. The girl placed several porcelain cups the size of a wine cup on a small wooden box, then picked up the big ears of the coffee pot and filled each cup one by one, then put down the pot and toasted the people sitting around with both hands. This process usually lasts 30 minutes.

Ethiopia grows coffee in different climatic zones, so it has more than 140 farm varieties, and fresh coffee is produced all the year round. The quality of Ethiopian coffee varies according to different elevations and regional ecological environment. The Harar coffee in the southeast highland is a typical Muha coffee with strong aroma; the coffee produced in southwest Wollega has a rich fruity flavor; Limu coffee has wine and spice flavor; Sidamo coffee is mild, full-bodied and sour, while Yirgacheffee coffee has floral flavor. Taste Yega Xuefei, chocolate and sour taste more intense, like lemon flying, with a trance of flowers.

Interestingly, Ethiopians also put pictures of horses on the coffee package to show the purity of the coffee. It is said that in the era when horses were the main means of transportation, Ethiopia had the best thoroughbred horses of Arab origin in the world, and Ethiopians were proud of it. Now they give this pride to Ethiopian coffee. "High-quality coffee should be as pure as thoroughbred horses". As a result of abiding by this concept, the taste of coffee here is still so mellow.

Coffee is Ethiopia's most important export cash crop and the main source of Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings. Ethiopia's coffee exports account for about 3% of the world market, making it the eighth largest coffee exporter in the world. Coffee exports increased steadily from 58000 tons in 1990 to 110000 tons in 1995-1996 and remained at this level in the following years. The export volume exceeded 110000 tons from 2001 to 2002 and reached 127000 tons from 2002 to 2003. As the price of coffee on the international market has been declining for a decade, Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings have been seriously affected. Before the sharp drop in coffee prices, coffee exports accounted for more than half of Ethiopia's foreign exchange earnings, but now they account for only about 35 per cent. But according to the International Coffee Organization, coffee prices rebounded 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. The average price in March 2004 was 60.8 cents per pound, an increase of 50% over September 2001. This is excellent news for Ethiopia.

Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe coffee is one of the most unique coffee beans in the world today: it has a strong aroma of flowers, lemon, strong acidity but soft and smooth taste.
