For professional barista exchanges, please follow Coffee Workshop (WeChat public account: cafe_style).

The coffee flavors of Sidamo are extremely diverse. Different soil compositions, regional microclimates, and countless native coffee varieties have created obvious differences and characteristics in the coffee produced by each town and region. The Sidamo production area is located in southern Ethiopia. The industry here is dominated by agriculture, with coffee growing areas situated around the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.

Variety: Local native Heirloom

Producer: Local small farmers

Shakisso, located in Guji, southern Oromia region, borders Sidamo and Gedeo. This area contains numerous mining pits originally used for gold extraction, resulting in many holes throughout the coffee growing region. This makes walking between coffee cultivation areas extremely dangerous. Shakisso stands as a distinctive production area within Guji/Sidamo, remaining a remote region far from most coffee-producing areas even within Sidamo. Gold mining represents another famous local product. Factors such as miners, land disputes, and ethnic tensions led to regional instability in 2006. Consequently, the area now faces its greatest challenge: the need for manpower to maintain plantations and harvest coffee. Local small farmers began cultivating organic coffee here in 2001, working closely with medium-sized coffee producers who possess expertise in high-altitude forest coffee cultivation.
