The most distinctive flavors found in all Sidamo coffee are lemon and citrus, with bright, crisp acidity. Sidamo coffee includes Yirgachefe and Guji coffees, both of which are of excellent quality.

Sidamo

Sidamo coffee flavors are extremely diverse due to different soil compositions, regional microclimates, and countless native coffee varieties, resulting in distinct differences and characteristics in coffee produced by each town area. The Sidamo region is located in southern Ethiopia. The local economy is primarily agricultural, with coffee growing areas situated around the Great Rift Valley.

Region Introduction

Shakisso is located in the Guji region of Sidamo, in the southern part of the Oromia region, bordering Sidama and Gedeo. This area has many mining pits, originally used for gold mining, so there are numerous holes in this coffee growing area. This makes walking through coffee plantations dangerous. Shakisso is a unique region within Guji/Sidamo, even within Sidamo it's a remote area far from most coffee producing regions, and the area's other famous product is gold mines. Factors such as miners, land, and ethnic tensions also made the region unstable in 2006. Therefore, the biggest problem facing this area now is the need for manpower to maintain the plantations and harvest coffee.

Local small farmers in this area began growing organic coffee in 2001, working closely with medium-sized coffee producers who are familiar with how to grow forest coffee in highland areas. This is one of the micro-regions with strong regional characteristics within the Sidamo producing area. Coffee from this region has considerable uniqueness and has repeatedly gained market attention. The legendary Ninety Plus bean (nekisse) originally means "nectar from shakisso," and its origin and naming both come from Shakisso.

Flavor Description: Lemon and citrus, bright and crisp acidity, lemon, citrus, white grape juice, blackcurrant, Earl Grey tea sensation in the finish
