Kochere Region Introduction

The renowned coffee review website Coffee Review gave Kochere washed beans a high rating of 94 points.

Ethiopia's Coffee Regions

Ethiopia has eight main coffee-growing regions: Nekempte (Lekempti) Gimbi, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe. Among these, the more well-known specialty coffee regions are Nekempte (Lekempti), Limu, Harrar, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is located in the Sidama administrative region of Africa, Ethiopia, showing that Yirgacheffe is a smaller area within the Sidama region.

Yirgacheffe itself is a small town with about 20,000 people. The three neighboring micro-regions of Wenago, Kochere, and Gelena Abaya produce coffee with flavors almost identical to Yirgacheffe, so they are also classified under the Yirgacheffe region. Yirgacheffe shares similar culture and geographical environment with nearby Sidamo, but Yirgacheffe seems particularly favored with unique advantages. Top-quality Yirgacheffe coffee features floral notes, bright citrus acidity, lemon-toned aromas, and a silky smooth mouthfeel.

Kochere District Details

Kochere is located in southwestern Ethiopia, about 25 miles north of the famous Yirgacheffe town. The production model mainly involves local small farmers delivering their batches to cooperatives for unified processing. The local Chalalacktu village has about 100,000 people who rely on coffee for their livelihood, with coffee-related production activities becoming their main economic source. Due to the income from coffee production, the local living standard is much better than many Ethiopian villages, with complete health facilities, higher education institutions, and other amenities. Advanced processing equipment allows Kochere district's coffee to maintain high standards in washed processing, presenting clean sweetness with complex notes of molasses and citrus.
