The Sidama region is home to nearly 8 million people with distinct cultures and traditions and is famous for high-elevation coffee. The fertile highlands reach altitudes of 2,200masl, and the slow ripening of coffee cherries promotes the development of complex flavors and aromas characteristic of Ethiopia Sidama green coffee. This Grade 2 washed coffee features delightful notes of golden raisin and green tea, accentuated by a cane sugar sweetness and medium acidity.

Although coffee from Sidama is often referred to as, “Sidamo” coffee, Sidamo is a misnomer that dates back to the 1880s.

In the “washed” or “wet” process coffee cherries are floated and sorted to ensure consistent ripeness and to remove any defective cherries. The seeds (coffee beans) are then removed from their skins using depulping machines and typically moved to fermentation tanks to remove the mucilage—the remaining fruit remnants.

Washed processing has become widely popular. The cup profile of washed coffees tends to reflect the coffee’s terroir. The processing method allows the growing conditions, the region, and the true character of the coffee to shine through.
