Hawassa is the largest town in Sidama Province and serves as an important local coffee export hub. Sidama coffee offers extremely diverse flavors, as different soil compositions, regional microclimates, and countless native coffee varieties create distinct differences and characteristics in the coffee produced by each town and region.

Sidama Province is home to the Sidama Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (SCFCU), which is the second-largest coffee farmers cooperative union in Ethiopia, surpassed only by the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU). Established in 2001, it comprises 46 cooperatives representing 80,000 coffee farming families. Due to natural conditions including abundant rainfall, ideal climate, and fertile soil, FrontStreet Coffee's washed Sidama is a typical high-quality coffee with clean, mature flavors, sweet lemon notes, a balanced sweet-sour profile, and full body. The coffee flavor in this region is unique enough to rival the coffee from the neighboring Yirgacheffe growing area to the north.
