About the Bean Origin:
Ethiopia is the original home of Coffea arabica, and thousands of different heirloom varietals are still growing wildly among the mountainous forests. Ethiopia green coffee is celebrated for its bright fruit and floral flavors, expressed with exceptional acidity and sweetness. Coffee grading in Ethiopia is based on the combined result of physical bean qualities and cup qualities. Grades range from 1 (high) to 9 (low).
Much of the coffee grown in Ethiopia is organic by default. That's because there is so much nutrition in the soil, cultivated by natural forest debris and nurtured by a variety of microclimates, with tall forest canopies providing shade over the coffee trees.
Sidama is a fertile region in southern Ethiopia that spans across the highlands of Lake Awasa in the Rift Valley. The high altitudes that soar beyond 2000 meters above sea level are where Arabica coffee trees grow and ripen slowly in the cool temperatures, resulting in complex flavor profiles and distinct aromas that are characteristic of Sidama green coffee.
The region is home to nearly 8 million people with distinct cultures and traditions among 36 districts that encompass over 50 coffee cooperatives and around 200 washing stations.
