"Yirgacheffe" is a small town in Ethiopia. It is generally translated as "Yirgacheffe" in China, and in some places it is translated as "Yirgacheffe". The altitude here is 1,700 to 2,100 meters. It can be said to be synonymous with Ethiopian specialty coffee. It has been a wetland since ancient times. In ancient language, "yirga" means "settling down" and "cheffe" means "wetland". Therefore, Yirgacheffe means "settle down in this wetland".

 

Originally, Yirgacheffe was a by-product area of ​​Sidamo Province in Ethiopia. It is located to the northwest of Sidamo and is one of the highest coffee-producing areas in Ethiopia. Because the production methods and flavor here are so outstanding, Ethiopian coffee farmers are proud of their Yirgacheffe flavor. Therefore, it became independent from the Sidamo production area and became the most famous production area in Africa. (In the future, there will be more and more independent production areas that are flavor-oriented).

Subsequently, Ethiopia changed the division of administrative regions around 1995. The biggest impact on the coffee region was that the original Sidamo was divided into the new Sidamo (a minority of the original), and most of it was included in Oromia. Yirgacheffe, which originally belonged to Sidamo Province, is now included in the new Gedeo region.

 

Most of the coffee cultivation in Front Street Yirgacheffe belongs to the pastoral coffee model, that is, coffee farmers plant coffee trees near their living areas, harvest them by themselves during the harvest season, and then send them to nearby treatment plants built on water sources for unified processing (or unified purchase by middlemen).Except for a small number of relatively powerful planting estates that independently grow, pick, and process green coffee beans, coffee beans from many different regions and varieties are centrally processed by processing plants and then sent to auction houses for official evaluation and grading. so manyYirgacheffe coffee beansAllThey are named after treatment plants or cooperatives. The typical representative is the Front Street Yirgacheffe Fruit and Tintin Cooperative.

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, and the quality of the treatment is also very high.

Since its establishment, Guodingding Cooperative has its own processing plant and can independently process the coffee beans it produces. First, use a peeling machine to remove the skin and pulp of the coffee beans. Then the coffee beans are soaked in a fermentation tank for 24 hours, and then the pectin attached to the surface of the coffee beans is washed away. The coffee beans are then dried until they are dry. This time is about 2-3 weeks.
