What’s so special about Yirgacheffe?
Yirgacheffe is located in the southwest of Ethiopia and was originally a small town in the Gedeo zone. The town is a natural wetland with very rich water resources. The average annual temperature is 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the high-altitude geographical environment creates a temperature difference between day and night, giving this town the growth conditions required for Arabica coffee beans.
The town of Yirgacheffe originally belonged to Sidama, another famous coffee-producing area in Ethiopia. As the specialty coffee market has an increasing demand for coffee beans with fresh flavors, the Ethiopian government began to pay attention to the coffee produced in the town of Yirgacheffe.
Later, it was believed that the coffee beans produced in the town of Yirgacheffe have a unique floral and citrus flavor, which has a different flavor expression from the coffee beans produced in other areas of Sidamo. Moreover, many coffee bean traders have designated beans grown in the town of Yirgacheffe. Therefore, in 2010, the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange separated the Yirgacheffe production area from the Sidamo production area, so the Yirgacheffe production area is now known as the Yirgacheffe production area.

How to brew coffee with hanging ears?
1. First of all, the net content of coffee powder in hanging ear coffee has a fixed label (usually 10 grams), so it solves the problem of not having a grinder and an electronic scale.
2. The next step is to solve the water injection volume and water temperature. Just like Pour over(V60) coffee, the ratio is 1:15 to 1:16, so the brewed coffee liquid should reach 140 ml to 150 ml. The water temperature should be about 90℃. If you have a thermometer or a temperature-controlled kettle, you can give priority. If not, you can roughly judge the temperature. Generally, after the kettle is boiled, turn off the heat source and open the lid, wait 2-3 minutes, and the water temperature will reach about 90℃ (room temperature is 28℃).
3. When ready, preheat the mug (water cup), take it out and tear open the seal of the ear-hanging bag along the "Open" line, open the "ears" at both ends of the filter bag, hang it on the rim of the mug, and smooth out the powder layer.
4. Inject water into the first section, just make the coffee powder layer completely wet, and steam for ten seconds.
5. After steaming, add water for the second time. Use a small flow of water in a circle to fill it up. When the powder layer drops slightly, continue to add water until it is full. Repeat until the coffee capacity in the cup reaches about 140-150 ml. Then you can remove the ear-hanging bag and enjoy.
6. If you want a more precise amount of water, you can pour 150-160 ml of water into the kettle. When brewing, after filling all the water in the kettle, you can remove the ear-hanging bag when all the coffee liquid flows into the cup. The entire brewing process takes about 1 minute to complete.
