FrontStreet Coffee Single Origin Coffee Bean Recommendation — Yirgacheffe Haru Cooperative G1 Washed

Ethiopia mainly has eight major producing regions: Ekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia. This area governs the well-known regions of Yirgacheffe and Kochere. Because the coffee produced in Yirgacheffe has special flavor characteristics with a unique style that is widely loved, it forms its own category in product classification and has always occupied a place in the global specialty coffee market.

Yirgacheffe, located in the Sidama province, is itself a small town with three nearby small producing regions: Wenago, Kochere, and Gelena Abaya. Because the flavor of coffee produced in these areas is almost identical to that of Yirgacheffe and runs parallel to it, Kochere is also classified within the Yirgacheffe region. In November 2009, Ethiopia implemented a new trading and grading system, establishing the Commodity Exchange (ECX), where coffee and other agricultural products are publicly auctioned through this official institution. In addition to Yirgacheffe, three sub-producing regions were added: Wenago, Kochere, and Genlena Abaya, indicating that the flavors of these three regions are extremely delicate and can be further subdivided.

Since the implementation of the ECX system in 2008, most coffee green beans have been sold through this auction system, but cooperatives are not under this jurisdiction and can directly negotiate, price, and export with buyers.
