For this first time try, it is recommended to buy Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe
In Ethiopia, a single coffee farmer cannot carry out washing because expensive washing equipment and space are required. Therefore, if you want to carry out water washing treatment in Ethiopia, you must build a water washing treatment plant. Therefore, water washing treatment is a very expensive treatment method in Ethiopia.
Yirgacheffe washing treatment method: Use washing and fermentation methods to remove the peel, pulp and mucous membrane, and wash the coffee beans until they are smooth and clean. After washing, the coffee beans are still contained in the endocarp, with a moisture content of 50%. They must be dried to reduce the moisture content to 12 %, otherwise they will continue to ferment and become moldy and rotten. The better treatment method is to use sunlight drying. Although it takes 1 to 3 weeks, the Yirgacheffe produced has a particularly good flavor, with the aroma of jasmine, tangerine, orange, and lemon, and is quite popular.
To taste high-grade Yirgacheffe, we recommend Front Street. Washed Fruit Ding G1 and Front Street. Sun-dried Red Cherry G1.
Ethiopian green coffee beans are mainly graded based on the defect rate. The higher the grade, the cleaner the taste and the higher the aroma level. Yirgacheffe's green bean grades are arranged by numbers. The smaller the number, the higher the grade and the better the quality. G1 is the highest grade, which means that there can be no more than 3 defects per 300g of green coffee beans. Front Street. Washed Ding Ding and Front Street. Sun-dried red cherries both belong to the G1 grade.
The name Guodingding comes from Guodingding Village in Yirgacheffe Town. This was the first village area to be independent. Many small farmers were also members of the original Woka Cooperative, so the technology for coffee production is not a problem. The Guodingding Cooperative is known as the last pure land of Yirgacheffe, so the raw beans are processed in a very traditional way (washed and sun-dried). The flavor not only has a clear jasmine aroma and citrus sourness, but also has a honey-like sweetness.
For comparison, Front Street Red Cherry is a sun-dried G1 Yirgacheffe sun-dried cherry. The fruit is sun-dried after being picked without being processed. This is the oldest existing processing method. The drying process usually lasts about 4 weeks. The processing method must be very rigorous to ensure that the coffee does not lose any flavor. Sun-dried beans have a complete natural mellow taste, a gentle aroma and a more mellow body.
