Sidamo Coffee Region

The coffee flavors of Sidamo are incredibly diverse. Different soil compositions, regional microclimates, and countless native coffee varieties create distinct differences and characteristics in the coffee produced by each town and region. The Sidamo coffee-producing region is located in southern Ethiopia. Agriculture dominates the industry here, with coffee growing areas situated around the Great Rift Valley.

Shakisso

Shakisso, located in Guji, Oromia Region in the south, borders Sidama and Gedeo. This area contains numerous mining pits that were previously used for gold extraction, leaving many holes in the coffee-growing zones. This makes walking through the coffee cultivation areas extremely dangerous. Shakisso stands as a unique producing area within Guji/Sidamo, even within Sidamo it remains a remote region far from most coffee-producing locations. Gold mining is another famous local product. Factors such as miners, land disputes, and ethnic tensions made the region unstable in 2006. Consequently, the area now faces its greatest challenge: the need for manpower to maintain the plantations and harvest coffee. Local smallholder farmers began cultivating organic coffee here in 2001, working closely with medium-sized coffee producers who are experienced in growing forest coffee in highland areas.
