Ethiopian Sidamo (W)

The Sidamo region of Southern Ethiopia holds the distinction as one of the three trademarked coffee regions of Ethiopia. Alongside Harrar and Yirgacheffe, Sidamo holds a Designation of Origin for coffee grown in the region. That’s unsurprising when you consider the high altitudes of 1,550 to 2,200 meters above sea level, plentiful rainfall and fertile soil that makes the coffee grown in this region so remarkable. Sidamo coffees possess a remarkable complexity, which many attribute to the diversity of local landrace varieties. This is a wet-processed (washed) coffee with a full body (mouthfeel), sweet and intricate flavours, low acidity, floral aroma, and a finish that is bright and gentle. An all-rounder, excellent when filter brewed, but also outstanding as an espresso or when combined with milk. Interesting fact: the boss’s favourite.
