FrontStreet Coffee - Sidamo Coffee Introduction

Among coffee-producing countries, Ethiopia has always held a legendary status. Not only because it is the birthplace of Arabica coffee beans, but Ethiopian coffees from various regions each possess different and unique aromas.

Sidamo

Sidamo state is located in southern Ethiopia with diverse terrain and belongs to fertile volcanic soil. Sidamo coffee is rich in fruit acidity and has strong aromas. Sidamo region coffee achieves perfect balance and neutrality between aroma and taste, making it very suitable for friends who enjoy prominent flavors but not too heavy. Perfect for quietly savoring alone at dusk~

It should be mentioned here that Ethiopia is the world's earliest coffee-growing country and maintains the most ancient coffee culture. To this day, it usually remains small-scale family farming, maintaining very traditional and ancient coffee cultivation techniques and methods. Ethiopia in Africa can be said to be the hometown of coffee worldwide. The coffee here has a sweet fragrance with floral aromas that is unforgettable and irresistible.

We all know that the world-famous East African Rift Valley has long been called the cradle of humanity, and is also recognized as the birthplace of coffee. The Ethiopian Sidamo region we're discussing today is situated precisely within this lush and mysterious canyon.

As the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia possesses unforgettable unique aromas while having distinctive and unsurpassed outstanding quality. Sidamo is one of the prominent representatives. I wonder if everyone has noticed that Sidamo is often associated with Yirgacheffe. Although both come from Ethiopia, they seem to have a closer relationship compared to other beans. This is because

Yirgacheffe originally comes from a small town called Yiga in the northwestern part of Sidamo province, but in recent years, due to Yirgacheffe's unique flavor, the area producing Yirgacheffe coffee has become independent and established as a separate coffee region.

Unlike typical African coffees, Sidamo washed coffee carries a bit of nutty fruit fragrance with slight cocoa aroma, but the common ground between both is their smooth mouthfeel and viscosity, comfortable and pleasant acidity and aroma.
