FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Ethiopian Coffee
Ethiopia is a developing country located in northeastern Africa, but this nation is world-renowned as a coffee-producing region.
Ethiopia boasts the world's most diverse coffee ecosystem (forest coffee, semi-forest coffee, garden coffee, and plantation coffee), which has preserved its rich Arabica genetic heritage. Combined with diverse processing methods including natural, washed, and semi-washed, it presents complex and varied flavors. It can be said that the "flavor profiles" of most coffee-producing regions worldwide can be tasted here, reflecting Ethiopia's inclusive "king of flavors." Additionally, Ethiopia is the cradle of Arabica coffee beans, and growing, roasting, and brewing coffee is a unique cultural heritage of the region.
Yirgacheffe is a small town in eastern Ethiopia with an altitude of 1800-2000m. In the ancient language, "Yirga" means "to settle down," and "Cheffe" means "wetland." Yirgacheffe belongs to the Sidamo producing region and is particularly beloved among specialty coffee enthusiasts worldwide for its unique jasmine aroma and citrus acidity. This special taste profile is also hailed as the "Yirgacheffe" flavor. Based on the defect rate of green beans, Yirgacheffe is classified into five grades from best to worst: G1-G5. Generally, it undergoes washed processing, but a small amount of premium beans is intentionally processed naturally to enhance the charming fruit aroma and body.
The Sidamo producing region is very close to Yirgacheffe and has similar flavor profiles. Through meticulous washed or natural processing, it also presents floral and citrus notes with smooth acidity, comparable in quality to Yirgacheffe. Like Yirgacheffe, the beans of this variety are medium-sized, but there are also dwarf small-grain varieties. Sidamo coffee is typically lightly to medium roasted to preserve the variety's bright acidity and intoxicating floral aroma.
Yirgacheffe, one of Ethiopia's nine major producing regions, mostly follows the garden coffee model, with only a small number of powerful coffee plantations. Yirgacheffe's grading system is not determined by bean size but by the proportion of defective beans among all green beans.
Only through manual selection, with the lowest defect rate, can it be awarded the highest grade of Grade 1.
