Ethiopia Sidamo Grade 2

A classic! This one has notes of bergamot and a citric acidity that, depending on the roasting degree, can give you a very full body. Use it as a light colored, pure, filter coffee or as a certain something in an espresso-blend.

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 Ehiopia.

The “Coffea Arabica” plant originated in Ethiopia. According to the legend, a 19th century goatherder noticed the energizing 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 bergamott taste. It is known for a very high quality coffee.
