Ethiopia Sidamo Guji Adola Simon Special Processing Sweet Fruity Sparkling Water

FrontStreet Coffee - Ethiopia Sidamo Guji Adola Semeom Special Process

Ethiopia has a long and profound history of coffee production and consumption, and it is the country of origin for the world's most famous and most widely cultivated variety, Arabica. Guji Sidamo is a premium bean grown in the forests of the mountainous region around 2,100 meters in the southernmost part of Ethiopia. It is 100% Arabica, with no more than three defective beans in 300 grams. Harvested each December and left unwashed, the cherries are dried on terraces for three weeks of sun-drying, which draws out a distinctive fruit character.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Yirgacheffe sits at about 1,700-2,100 meters in southern Ethiopia's Sidamo province, with coffee planted above 1,800 meters, and it is one of the highest coffee regions in the world. FrontStreet's washed Yirgacheffe is the classic starting point, known for white jasmine, bright citrus and lemon acidity, and a tea-like quality, at a price that has made it a first specialty coffee for many drinkers.

Yirgacheffe divides into many small areas and villages, and some of the most skilled cooperatives produce especially refined coffee. The most representative is FrontStreet's washed Gedeb cooperative coffee from Gedeb village in the Worka area, once part of the Worka cooperative under the YCFCU union and later established as an independent single-origin producer. Its traditional washed processing leaves no bitterness, instead offering fresh, bright citrus and lemon acidity with jasmine fragrance.

For a fruitier expression of the same region, FrontStreet's Sun-Dried Red Cherry is dried with the whole ripe fruit on raised beds, turned every two to three hours at first and machine-scraped after three to five weeks. It keeps classic Yirgacheffe character while adding tropical fruit from the sun-drying: citrus acidity, a berry-juice body, honey sweetness, and a creamy smoothness.
