In the southern part of Ethiopia, at a height of over 1800m, a special coffee grows under the shade of the mountain trees. Just like all Ethiopian coffees, the Sidamo coffee is a regional variety and trademarked by the country itself. It is named after the most southern province of Ethiopia.

The “Arabica Coffea” plant originated in Ethiopia. According to the legend, a 19th century goat herder noticed the energising effect the plant had on his flock and talked about his “singing goats“.

Sidamo coffee has a small green/greyish bean, more elongated than the American Arabica coffees. It has a deep citrus and floral bergamot taste. It is known for a very high-quality coffee.
