YirgacheffeWhat is it?
"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".
at firstYirgacheffeIt is a by-product area of Sidamo Province in Ethiopia. It is located to the northwest of Sidamo and is one of the highest altitude 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.
The Ethiopian coffee items currently circulating on the market will be mixed with new and old regional names. Here we use the new regional division as the benchmark.
