A classic Ethiopian washed coffee from the Sidama region with notes of citrus, florals and intense sweetness. Sidama coffees come from Southern Ethiopia and are typically farmed as ‘garden coffees’ on smallholder plots that are later combined and sold in groups. There is a unique and distinct character to these coffees that make them reliable and highly consistent. They have a smooth mouthfeel, are medium bodied and also make desirable blend components. This darker roast profile creates a flavour of 70% cocoa chocolate!
