    Back in Ethiopia: The awash river runs through the rift valley and this coffee comes from smallholder farmers around the river area in the sidama region.

    What a bright and clean natural this is. Excellent dry aroma of caramelised citrus which was unexpected as was the flavour of lemon bon bons and bergamot which is equally excellent. Slightly syrupy sweetness and the whole coffee got better and opened up as it cooled. Sometimes cupping coffee makes you smile and this was one of those occasions. Surprisingly bright citric acidity very nicely balanced with the sweetness. The body is a little light and thin but that doesnt take away too much from a coffee like this.

    Hipster appreciation cap off and homberg of serious evaluation on: we did get a hiccup of an earthy taint on cup number 3. There was a big obvious Quaker in that cup which is maybe the culprit. So two scores - we acknowledge the taint but it shouldnt detract from a simply delicious, poised coffee like this!

    Ive drunk it all already. Delicious

Bean Source Country: Ethiopia
Widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia boasts diverse and complex flavors, from bright, floral, and citrusy in Yirgacheffe to wine-like and berry-toned in Sidama. The country's heirloom varieties, combined with unique processing methods, make Ethiopian coffee truly distinctive and sought-after by enthusiasts worldwide.
Bean Source Region: Sidama
The Sidama coffee region, also known as Sidamo, is located in southern Ethiopia and is renowned for producing high-quality Arabica coffee beans. Named after the Sidama people who inhabit the area, the region is characterized by its fertile highlands, with coffee grown at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,200 meters above sea level. The high altitude, combined with the favorable climate and rich volcanic soil, results in a distinctive flavor profile for Sidama coffee, often featuring bright acidity and complex, fruity notes.
