Immediately cool the beans and blow off the silver skin.

Due to the higher grade, the defect rate itself is not high, and the aroma is full and rich under medium and light baking, in which blueberry, raspberry, cherry and citrus aromas are the main body, fermented fruit and wine aroma are used as the final rhyme, and the sweet and sour quality is rich and charming.

Lightly roasted Yirgacheffe, roasted on low heat for 15 minutes (210 ° C). Turn off the heat and slide for half a minute. Immediately cool the beans and blow off the silver skin. The coffee beans are roasted evenly (because the raw beans are washed and clean) and brown. When using the hand-operated coffee mill, it feels very good, smooth and moderate resistance. The dry aroma of coffee powder just started to smell a little earthy, and immediately there was a strong, restrained aroma. After brewing wet fragrance, there are obvious orange fruit, but also some similar hawthorn, fruit cortex moutan sweet and sour taste. The palate is slightly light and balanced, with a slight mild acidity, rich in oil and long lasting foam.

Medium dark roast Yirgacheffe, low heat roast to 17 minutes (230 degrees Celsius), turn off the heat and slide for half a minute. Immediately cool the beans and blow off the silver skin. There is a slight oil on the surface of the coffee beans. The beans are dark brown. The beans are light, the resistance is very small when grinding with a hand coffee mill, and it is not easy to get beans. The dry aroma of coffee powder has a strong burnt aroma and a faint African earthy smell. After brewing, the wet fragrance has a good scorched fragrance. After baking deeper, it seems that there is no regional characteristic of orange fragrance. However, after sipping coffee, it is very rich, fragrant and pleasant, rich in variety, gentle acid, bitterness and astringency are well reflected, the texture is thick, the viscosity is better than that of shallow baking, and the aftertaste is long.

Yirgacheffe, with its unique aroma, comes from a small town called Yirga in the northwest of Sidamo province.

Fruit fragrance smell is the most obvious, mixed with a faint tea fragrance, taste can not find any bitter taste, in addition, because it is sun treatment beans, there is a special aroma left when fermentation, or wine aroma, and Bali organic that bean aroma has very similar places, but not as obvious as Bali check the relevant information, understand the quality of this bean is better, so the overall principle is as light as possible, so that the characteristics of this bean show, So eventually the baking stops at the end of the first explosion. The uniformity of beans is slightly worse, very similar to the baking state of Ethiopian sun-baked beans. Due to the shallow baking, there are still many beans whose silver skin has not completely fallen off. The appearance is full and moist compared with many Central and South American beans, which is quite different. However, Ethiopian beans have always been known not for their beautiful appearance, but for their beautiful taste (here, I really can only use beauty to describe Ethiopian beans, synaesthesia rhetoric, haha)
