Ethiopian Coffee Cultivation and Processing

For professional barista exchanges, please follow Coffee Workshop (WeChat official account: cafe_style).

In Ethiopia, you can find various coffee cultivation methods: from vast wild coffee forests and semi-developed lands, to traditionally managed small plots, all the way to modern plantations—everything imaginable. About 50% of coffee is grown at altitudes above 1,500 meters. Ethiopian coffee can be divided into nine major coffee regions based on the four different production methods mentioned above, including five specialty coffee areas: Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Harar, Limu, and Lekempti, as well as four general commercial bean producing areas: Djimmah, Illubabor, Tepi, and Bebeka. Each region uses either natural or washed processing methods, and different processing techniques affect the flavor. Currently, natural processing accounts for about 80%, while washed processing accounts for about 20%.

Pour-over Sidamo Brewing Guide

Hand-poured Sidamo: 15g of coffee, ground to medium-fine (Fujiyama burr grinder setting 3.5), V60 dripper, water temperature 91-93°C. First pour 30g of water for a 27-second bloom, then pour to 105g and pause. Wait until the water level in the coffee bed drops halfway before continuing the pour. Slowly pour until reaching 225g total. Discard the final portion. Water-to-coffee ratio 1:15, extraction time 2:00.

Ninety Plus Coffee Series

"Ninety Plus" does not refer to all coffees scoring above 90 points in evaluations. Good coffee varies from year to year. Sometimes it appears in different estates and possesses various flavor characteristics. "Ninety Plus" refers to a top-tier coffee series of 13 flavor profiles. These coffees come exclusively from American specialty coffee creators—Ninety Plus Coffee. All are Ethiopian heirloom old varieties, cultivated to maturity in ecological environments, then processed to artistic standards with flavor optimization. The processing is Ninety Plus's specialty—they separate these coffees by variety, microclimate, and harvest timing, tasting each one individually. They design specific processing methods for each flavor profile to achieve a particular taste characteristic, much like how luxury designers meticulously craft their works. They dedicate tremendous effort and care to complete what approaches an artistic craft. Natural products undergo numerous refinements and improvements before reaching their most beautiful form, finally presenting their contents to everyone.

Drima Zede Natural Processing

The ancient natural processing method makes it difficult to achieve pure flavor, but Drima Zede, with Ninety Plus's technical support, involves hand-selecting only the most mature coffee cherries, while the natural drying process requires meticulous constant stirring to ensure uniformity. The final result is an exceptionally transparent and pure taste with significant variations between hot and cold temperatures. The aromas of fruit, floral notes, and oak barrels are incredibly captivating!

Ninety Plus Shantawene Natural

Also an Ethiopian natural bean, Shantawene undergoes strict supervision and selection, avoiding the annoying earthy impurities and high defect rates common in natural beans. Instead, it highlights the captivating sweetness for which natural processing is renowned. Shantawene's enchanting fruit profile inherits the fascinating aroma characteristic of traditional Ethiopian natural processing, expressing a full-bodied, lingering sweetness and a perfectly balanced, mouth-watering fruit acidity without reservation. Shantawene is also quite easy for daily brewing—the bean itself is rich in flavor, whether using the clean drip filter method or rich espresso brewing, it beautifully showcases its inherent character.

Ninety Plus Brand Philosophy

Ninety Plus beans take a completely different approach to naming compared to conventional specialty beans—they don't use region or estate names. Each bean is named according to its flavor profile. For example, Shantawene means "best approach" in the local dialect. Starting from a flavor concept, then naming, then selecting regions and partner farms—this shows that Ninety Plus is a brand with a boutique management style.
