A brief introduction to the description of the flavor and aroma characteristics of coffee beans with wild taste.

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 grading is not uniform and messy now, because there are also Grand G2 and Grand G2 Yirga Cheffe processed by sun processing, but Harald's highest grade is Grade IV Ethiopia is the hometown of Arabica coffee, and it is in the forests of Kaffa that you can see wild Arabica coffee. In Ethiopian, coffee is called "Bun" or "Buna". Coffee beans (coffeebean) may be translated from "Kaffa Bun". Arabica coffee has long been found in the Harald area, probably from the Kafa forest.

Essel coffee is processed by two processing methods: sun and water washing. The flavor of coffee processed by different processing methods is very different. Generally speaking, the alcohol thickness and soil taste of washed Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Limmu coffee are slightly lower, and the taste of sun-processed coffee is more wild. But the taste of Essex coffee may be different from batch to batch, which requires more cup tests in order to find really good coffee.

Although the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee is petite, it is gentle and delicate and sweet. As the hometown of coffee, thousands of years of planting history and processing tradition in Ethiopia have created high-quality washed Arabica beans. Light baking has unique sweet aromas of lemon, flowers and honey, soft acidity and citrus flavors, fresh and bright on the palate. No milk or sugar, let the rich texture and unique soft flower scent brush your taste buds, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Yega Xuefei is a small town, 700-21000 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 is so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of the flavor of their coffee, making it the most famous coffee producing area in Africa.

At first, Yejassefi's coffee trees were planted by European monks, and later by 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 fields. Yegashafi is an area in Ethiopia's Sidamo province that is famous for its unique coffee flavor. The name Yegashafi is even bigger than that of Sidamo, the province where it is located. Recently, the domestic Yejia Xuefei can be said to be everywhere, and more and more coffee lovers are also familiar with all kinds of Yega Xuefei.

There are many high-quality coffee processing plants in the Yegashafi region, and a lot of caffeine comes from these factories and becomes worth a hundred times as much. The sun tuition fee produced by Kebel Aricha Mill is one of them. This coffee is also what we often call ARICHA beans. After being treated by the Kebel Aricha processing plant through exquisite sun treatment, it is designated by ECX as Gr.1 or G1 (the highest grade of Ethiopian coffee). It is also known as the "king of fruit" and has a strong taste. There is a little taste of chocolate and caramel, the sour taste is not very obvious, it is thicker and lower than the taste of hand-made, there is a little taste of jasmine tea, it is obviously sweet, and it stays in the mouth for a long time. The flavor of fermentation is not as strong as the last hand flush. As the temperature decreases, the sour taste increases, appears brighter, and the taste looks a little cleaner. In short, with the experience of legal pressure, the coffee appears to be thicker and lower, with a stronger flavor. The overall feeling is that the citrus aroma is not obvious, or even difficult to find, with the characteristics of sun beans, mellow taste and fermented taste. The use of French pressure is the best interpretation of the original taste of coffee, but some people may not be used to the taste of coffee dregs left by French pressure. What I am using here is the French press made by Bodum for Starbucks. The strainer is very strong, but there are still some coffee grounds.

In February 1977, Lieutenant Colonel Mengistu Haier Maryam (MENGISTU HAILE MARIAM) launched a military coup and served as Chairman and head of State of the interim military Administrative Council. In 1979, the Ethiopian Labor people's Party Organizing Committee, mainly composed of soldiers, was established to implement an one-party system. In 1984, the Ethiopian Workers' Party was formed according to the Soviet Communist Party model. In September 1987, Mengistu announced the dissolution of the "interim military Administrative Council", the end of military rule, the establishment of the "people's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia" and the establishment of a new parliament. Mengistu served as President and head of Government in July 1991. EGF hosted a national conference with the participation of more than 20 political and ethnic organizations. The meeting adopted the Transitional Charter and elected an 87-member House of Representatives, with EGF Chairman Meles Zenawi as President and President of the Transitional Government. A transitional government was established. Eritrea (formerly Eritrea Province of Ethiopia) became a sovereign country in Ethiopia through a referendum under the supervision of the international community on May 24, 1993. The mountainous plateau in Ethiopia is dominated by the mountain plateau, with a large subordinate to the Ethiopian plateau. The Midwest is the main body of the plateau, accounting for 2x3 of the whole territory. The Great Rift Valley of East Africa runs through the whole territory, with an average elevation of nearly 3000 meters, known as the "roof of Africa". The terrain around the plateau is gradually declining. The Darol depression in the north fell to 113 meters below sea level, the lowest point in the country. The coast of the Red Sea is a narrow banded plain. Deserts and semi-deserts in the north, south and north-east account for about 25% of the country's area. The Dashan peak in the West Gate Mountains is 4623 meters above sea level. Saiqi, the highest peak in Ethiopia, is rectangular, with a ratio of length to width of 3:2. From top to bottom, it is composed of green, yellow and red parallel equal horizontal rectangles, with the national emblem in the middle of the flag. Since the end of the 19th century, Ethiopia began to use the green, yellow and red cross-striped national flag. In modern history, Ethiopia is the first African country to join the forest of free nations.

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.

In the field of boutique coffee, there are also five other small places of coffee, namely Lim, Gemma, Le Campdi, Becca and Limmu, Djimmah, Lekempti, Bebeka and Wolega. The most common is Essesidamo or Harald coffee (Either Sidamo or Harrar coffee). Grade of Ethiopian coffee:
