Origin
Ethiopia Sidamo Organic Fair Trade Coffee originates from the lush highlands of Sidamo, located in the southern part of Ethiopia. Known as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia’s rich coffee culture shines through in the Sidamo region, where smallholder farmers use sustainable farming techniques to cultivate this specialty bean. The fertile volcanic soil, high altitudes (1,500 to 2,200 meters), and tropical climate create ideal growing conditions, resulting in a coffee rich in flavor and character. The Sidamo region is renowned for producing coffees with unique, fruity, and floral notes, and its certification ensures farmers are paid fairly while promoting sustainable farming practices.
Processing Method
Ethiopia Sidamo coffee is naturally processed, meaning the coffee cherries are sun-dried with the fruit still intact. This traditional drying method enhances the beans’ fruity flavor and adds complexity to the cup. After drying, the beans are carefully hulled and sorted to ensure only the finest beans are used. This natural process contributes to the coffee’s full body and distinct flavor profile with low acidity and fruity undertones.
Flavor Profile
Ethiopia Sidamo Organic Fair Trade Coffee delivers a smooth, medium-bodied cup with delightful complexity. Expect floral aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle, combined with bright, fruity notes of citrus and stone fruits like apricot and peach. The coffee also boasts a wine-like acidity and a subtle hint of berry, creating a well-balanced, vibrant flavor. This coffee is perfect for those who enjoy a cup that’s rich in both floral and fruity characteristics, with a clean, refreshing finish that lingers on the palate.
Brewing Recommendations
For the best experience, we recommend brewing Ethiopia Sidamo Organic Fair Trade Coffee using a French Press or pour-over method like Chemex or V60. These brewing methods enhance the coffee’s intricate flavor profile and allow its fruity and floral notes to shine. If you prefer a more intense cup, try brewing with an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker to bring out the wine-like acidity. Always use freshly ground beans and filtered water to ensure the best taste from this exceptional single-origin coffee.
