ETHIOPIAN COFFEE: ORIGION AND HISTORY

Ethiopia is the birth place of Arabica coffee. Many Experts say that Ethiopia is the only place of the coffee grew natively and apocryphal story of kaldi is told repeatedly. Kaldi was agot herder who discovered coffee after witnessing the vigor that he received from eating the cherries. He later brought these cherries the monastery. Shared them with themonks who exclaimed that they were the devils work, and hurled them into the fire. The arom of the beans roasting in the fire was heavily and the beans realizing their mistakes, they placed them in to a jug and covered with hot water for preservation. Later the monks drank the brew and it helped them keep awake during nightly deviations. While this story is fun, in actuality, it was likely that the people of the nomadic Gala tribe first discovered the coffee plant and its invigorating properties.

Ethiopia coffee is grown in sustainable approach: Environmentally friendly, shade grown, and ecologically sound. It is estimated that these different production systems make up about forest (10%), Semi forest (35%), Garden coffee (50%) and plantation coffee (5%) of the total coffee production in the country. Plantation and cooperative coffee account for above 10% export volume and about 15% of share by monetary value.

ETHIOPIAN COFFEE PROCESSING METHODS

Ethiopia is a home to large quantity of coffee production with two major pro- duction types: Sundried or Natural or Unwashed and fully washed. Harra, Jimma and Nekemte coffees are mainly Natural coffees, whereas Sidamo and Yirgachefe are mainly washed coffees. Unlike some countries, Ethiopia has both washed and unwashed coffees. Calfee processing involves removing the skin, pulp and parchment from the outer layers of the coffee cherry, to reveal the green coffee bean. Coffee pulp or mucilage is the very sticky and dense in sugars. Special processes are needed to remove the muci- lage from the beans.
