Ethiopia - Sidama

• Tasting Notes: Blueberry, Stone Fruit, Floral
• Roast Level 01: Light

A vibrant and expressive light roast, this naturally processed coffee bursts with layers of ripe blueberry sweetness, juicy stone fruit, and delicate floral aromatics. Its lively acidity and silky body create a refined, tea-like cup that feels both bright and elegant. As the coffee cools, notes of peach, nectarine, and wildflower honey begin to unfold, adding depth and complexity to an exceptionally clean and fruit-forward profile.

This coffee comes from: Sidama Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (SCFCU) was founded in 2001 to represent coffee producing cooperatives in Sidama Region of Ethiopia. Today, SCFCU has grown to represent 67 primary cooperative societies and over 80,000 farmers (small holders) making SCFCU the second largest coffee producing cooperative union in Ethiopia. Sidama coffees exemplify a wealth of flavors and landscapes. From the rugged mountains of Bensa, to the valleys of Dale and Aleta Wendo, there is coffee. Sidama produces more coffee than any other zone in the country and has built a reputation for quality over many decades. Coffee is ingrained in the people's way of life. Nearly all coffee produced by the member cooperatives is shade grown in low densities under the canopies of indigenous trees and enset, a staple food crop. Members of SCFCU have been growing and processing Sidama type coffee for more than 35 years, and are now exporting high quality traceable coffee directly to overseas buyers. Fair Trade Certified by Fair Trade Labeling Organizations (FLO) since 2003, Sidama Union produces around 10,000 tons of high quality organic Arabica beans per year.
