Are Ouca and Gesha the same coffee variety? What is the origin of Ouca 6.0 coffee beans? How does it taste when brewed by pour-over? What are its flavor characteristics and descriptions?

What does Huakù coffee mean? In recent years, Huakù coffee has been very popular in the specialty coffee circle. If you don’t know what to drink, enthusiastic friends will likely recommend this one.Is it the same variety as Geisha? This was once a question that puzzled coffee enthusiasts, although it was later confirmed to be a baseless assumption.,,?

,Hambella,,,,.Hambella is an extremely small sub-region within Ethiopia’s largest coffee-producing region, Sidamo, at a very high altitude, bordering Yirgacheffe and Kochere to the west.This is related to the history of how Huakui coffee beans became popular in China.

Of course, not all Guji region coffees are Huakui beans, and Hambella beans are not the same as Huakui. Huakui is simply a well-known variety among the Hambella coffee beans from the Guji region.We generally believe that only the sun-dried coffee beans processed by the Buku Abel processing plant under DW company can be considered true Huagui, because in 2017 they were submitted to the TOH green bean competition and won the sun-dried category championship that year. Moreover, only the Buku Abel processing plant covers the production area of those sun-dried beans from that year.

It’s worth noting that Ethiopian coffee is primarily produced by smallholder farmers. Most coffee is grown near local homes and harvested once the coffee cherries ripen, then sold to processing stations that offer higher prices and are conveniently located.

The Hambela producing area has nearly 20 processing plants, and Buku Abel is just one of them, and even just one of the five processing stations set up by DW Company in the Hambela producing area.Therefore, although domestic green coffee importers introduce Huakui (Hambella) coffee beans every year, only the beans processed by Buku Abel washing station are true Huakui, while beans processed by other stations are distinguished by different harvest seasons and batches, such as the Huakui X.0 series.The original Huakù coffee beans had a strong strawberry cream flavor. In the following years, due to the expansion of the producing area and more scientific cultivation management, the flavor of Huakù coffee beans became even better, earning praise from many coffee enthusiasts who visited Qianjie Coffee. Additionally, as coffee is a crop, it is also affected by changes in local weather, rainfall, and other terroir conditions. While the main flavor remains consistent, variations are normal.There is one exception: Front Street Coffee discovered that a certain type of small-bean coffee within Huey Kui beans performs exceptionally well in terms of aroma and sweetness. This is the main source of the unique aroma and sweetness of Huey Kui and is very similar in flavor to the original 2017 Huey Kui.Therefore, this small-grained portion of Huakui coffee beans was specifically selected for processing. Although sold alongside the X.0 series, it does not change annually.Originally part of the Guji region within the Yirgacheffe producing area, it was separated due to its unique flavor profile.A long wait will eventually lead to the day of arrival.
