African Coffee

Flavor Characteristics: Enchanting Fruit Acidity

The flavor of African beans: Ethiopian coffee has a strong orange aroma, while Kenyan coffee features rich berry fragrance, along with the acidic aroma of plum juice and grapefruit, as well as the refreshing sweetness of sugarcane. The orange fragrance of Ethiopian coffee and the berry aroma of Kenyan coffee are the greatest characteristics of African beans, and what most fascinate coffee enthusiasts.

The general characteristics of African coffee include rich aroma and enchanting fruit acidity. Its bright acidity is lively and invigorating, but African coffee's body often tends to be somewhat thin, and its sweetness is not particularly prominent. Due to drought and water scarcity in Africa, natural processing is commonly used for green beans, often resulting in uneven and less attractive bean appearance with higher defect rates.

Ethiopian Coffee Beans

Ethiopia is an agricultural country with a history and tradition considered the birthplace of coffee. The southwestern region of Kaffa is regarded as the origin of the name "coffee," while the southern Sidamo region is the main producing area, with Yirgacheffe being one of the production areas in southern Sidamo. The eastern highlands of Harrar are also as famous as the "Harrar" coffee name.

Ethiopia is an important coffee-producing country, with approximately 12 million people engaged in coffee production, making it Africa's main exporter of Arabica coffee beans. The premium coffee here is of exceptional quality and worth seeking. It has a soft mouthfeel, wild wine-like aroma, slight acidity, and leaves an unforgettable impression after tasting.

Yirgacheffe itself is a small town with about 20,000 people. The three adjacent small producing areas—Wenago, Kochere, and Gelena Abaya—produce coffee with flavors almost identical to Yirgacheffe, so they are also classified under the Yirgacheffe regional category. Yirgacheffe shares similar culture and geographical environment with neighboring Sidamo, but Yirgacheffe seems to be more favored with exceptionally advantageous conditions. Top-quality Yirgacheffe coffee features floral notes, bright citrus acidity, lemon tones, and a silky smooth mouthfeel.
