Ethiopia: The Birthplace of Arabica Coffee

Ethiopia is the famous birthplace of Arabica coffee beans, where people have maintained the tradition of harvesting wild coffee beans to this day. Coffee plantations at altitudes exceeding 1,500 meters have formed a unique coffee terroir through thousands of years of evolution and adaptation. Ethiopian coffee grown in natural wild environments is known as "wilderness coffee," preserving the most primitive and natural flavors of coffee beans, with the most direct and complete expression of terroir.

Sidamo Coffee Region

The Sidamo coffee growing region, at altitudes of 1,400-2,200 meters, is a famous specialty coffee area in southern Ethiopia, bordering Kenya. Sidamo's coffee flavors are extremely diverse, with different soil types, microclimates, and countless native coffee varieties creating obvious differences and characteristics in the coffee produced by each town. From 2010 to 2012, it continuously achieved high scores of 92-94 from CR, the authoritative American coffee evaluation website. This demonstrates the extraordinary quality of green beans from this region. The area features towering mountains, highlands, plateaus, valleys, and plains, with diverse topography. The local geology consists of nutrient-rich, well-drained volcanic soil, with soil depth reaching nearly two meters, and surface soil appearing dark brown or brown. The area's greatest advantage lies in maintaining soil fertility through the recycling of organic matter, using fallen leaves from surrounding trees or residual plant roots as fertilizer.

Sidamo Legend Coffee Beans

This week, we introduce a Sidamo coffee bean from the Ethiopian region, grown at altitudes of 1,850-2,000 meters. It is 30% Geisha and 70% Typica varieties, Grade G2, processed using the washed method, and medium roasted. The green beans of the Sidamo Legend series are hand-selected, slightly grayish, large-grained, round and full, with both soft and bright acidity, appropriate body thickness, sweet and spicy aroma, making it one of the garden coffees from the southern Ethiopian highlands.

Clear fruit acidity with a smooth texture and delicate floral and grassy aromas. The washed Sidamo is elegant yet playful. The initial mild and pleasant entry creates a strong taste impact with the subsequent bright lemon fruit acidity. The taste is unique and mellow, with a distinctive and pleasant aftertaste, and the slowly rising finish contains a special sweetness.

How to Brew Sidamo Coffee Legend Coffee Beans Well?

FrontStreet Coffee Pour-over Reference:

Weigh 15g of Legend coffee beans, pour into a grinder and grind to medium coarseness. The ground particles should be slightly coarser than table salt. We use BG grinder setting 5R (standard sieve pass rate 60%), water temperature 90°C, and V60 dripper for extraction.

The hot water from the pour-over kettle should circle clockwise with the filter center as the focal point. Start timing when brewing begins. Within 15 seconds, brew the coffee to 30g, then stop pouring water. When the time reaches 1 minute, pour water for the second time. The second pour should follow the same pattern as before, circling clockwise with the filter center as the focal point. The water stream should not hit the area where coffee grounds meet the filter paper to avoid channel effects.

Leave a circle when brewing to the outermost edge of the coffee grounds, then circle back toward the center. At 2 minutes and 20 seconds, the coffee should be brewed to 220g, completing the brewing process.
