In Ethiopia's Rift Valley, Sidamo is a trademarked coffee region prized for its ideal growing conditions and rich volcanic soil. Smallholder farmers use traditional, often organic, methods. Sidamo coffees are celebrated for their bright acidity and floral, citrus, and berry notes, often with lemon and cane sugar hints. Wet processing enhances its fruity character, while some experiment with natural and anaerobic methods. Sidamo's unique combination of geography, farming practices, and processing creates a sought-after coffee with a deep cultural significance.
While both hail from Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe offers a uniquely delicate and tea-like experience with bright, floral notes that sets it apart from the more full-bodied and robust profile of Sidamo
