全国首家埃塞俄比亚咖啡体验中心扩容 饮品种类从8款增加到30余款The first Ethiopian coffee experience center in the country has expanded the variety of beverages from 8 to over 30

8月7日，重庆磁器口古镇，重装升级的全国首家“埃塞俄比亚咖啡国家推广体验中心”在原址正式亮相。三个月前，该体验中心在“五一”假期首日启动试营业。如今，它已从70平方米的“首店”升级为200平方米的“旗舰店”，可同时容纳约65人，饮品种类从8款增加到30余款。

走进店内，埃塞俄比亚咖啡师正用铁锅现场翻炒咖啡豆，随后用黑陶壶文火慢煮——这是埃塞俄比亚款待宾客的传统礼仪。严选耶加雪菲、西达摩、古吉等核心产区的G1级精品豆，全部以单豆制作，保留纯净丰富的本源风味。据悉，客流高峰期时，这里每两分钟就能卖出一杯咖啡。

该体验中心由埃塞俄比亚驻华大使馆官方授权，陆港经贸公司联合亚太经贸发展联盟非洲委员会、中非友好经贸发展基金会共同打造。据陆港经贸公司副总经理樊无双透露，由该公司全程供应链保障的首批自埃塞直采精品咖啡豆，已于数日前自当地启运，通过西部陆海新通道铁海联运线路，预计1个月后抵达重庆铁路口岸。

长久以来，大量埃塞精品咖啡需辗转多国分销，流通链路漫长。而这次直采直发的新模式，意味着咖啡豆将以更短的时间、更少的中间环节直达中国消费者手中。届时，部分咖啡豆将进入门店直销，市民不出重庆即可消费万里之遥的正宗埃塞精品豆。

陆港经贸公司总经理王慈航表示，埃塞俄比亚咖啡国家推广体验中心是公司参与中非经贸合作落地的首个实体终端，将力争打造成为内陆综合枢纽叠加消费中心城市建设的标志性项目。

对于重庆市民和各地游客来说，在重庆磁器口的青砖黛瓦间喝上一杯“零中间商”的埃塞俄比亚原产地咖啡，已不再遥远。

On August 7th, in Ciqikou Ancient Town, Chongqing, the first renovated and upgraded "Ethiopian Coffee National Promotion Experience Center" was officially unveiled at its original location. Three months ago, the experience center launched a trial operation on the first day of the May Day holiday. Nowadays, it has upgraded from a 70 square meter "first store" to a 200 square meter "flagship store", which can accommodate about 65 people at the same time, and the variety of drinks has increased from 8 to more than 30.

Entering the store, the Ethiopian barista is stir frying coffee beans on site with an iron pot, and then slowly boiling them over low heat in a black pottery pot - this is the traditional etiquette of entertaining guests in Ethiopia. Carefully selected G1 grade premium beans from core production areas such as Yejia Xuefei, Xidamo, and Guji are all made from single beans, preserving the pure and rich original flavor. It is reported that during peak traffic periods, a cup of coffee can be sold here every two minutes.

The experience center is officially authorized by the Embassy of Ethiopia in China, and jointly built by the Land Port Economic and Trade Company, the Asia Pacific Economic and Trade Development Alliance African Committee, and the China Africa Friendship Economic and Trade Development Foundation. According to Fan Wushuang, Deputy General Manager of the Land Port Economic and Trade Company, the first batch of high-quality coffee beans directly sourced from Ethiopia, which are guaranteed by the company's entire supply chain, have been shipped from the local area a few days ago and are expected to arrive at the Chongqing railway port in one month through the Western Land Sea New Corridor railway sea intermodal line.

For a long time, a large amount of Ethiopian specialty coffee has had to be distributed in multiple countries, with a long circulation chain. The new model of direct procurement and delivery this time means that coffee beans will reach Chinese consumers in a shorter time and with fewer intermediate links. At that time, some coffee beans will be sold directly in stores, and citizens can consume authentic Ethiopian specialty beans that are thousands of miles away without leaving Chongqing.

Wang Cihang, General Manager of the Land Port Economic and Trade Company, stated that the Ethiopian Coffee National Promotion and Experience Center is the first physical terminal for the company to participate in the implementation of China Africa economic and trade cooperation, and will strive to become a landmark project in the construction of an inland comprehensive hub and consumer center city.

For Chongqing citizens and tourists from all over the world, drinking a cup of Ethiopian origin coffee with zero middlemen between the blue bricks and black tiles at Chongqing Ciqikou is no longer far away.
