In the legendary birthplace of coffee—Ethiopia—the Sidama Zone stands out as a region of extraordinary character. Here, at elevations of 1,700 to 1,900 meters, generations of smallholder farmers tend to ancient, indigenous heirloom cultivars, grown in rich nitisol soil that’s as red and vibrant as the land itself.

Coffee in Sidama isn’t just a crop—it’s a ritual, a rhythm of life. Cherries are hand-selected at their ripest, then naturally dried on raised beds under the African sun. Each bean is sorted by hand, a labor of love that preserves the integrity of flavor and showcases the stunning range of Ethiopia’s native genetics.

This medium-light roast reveals a deeply expressive cup. Expect smooth milk chocolate to greet your palate, followed by a cascade of ripe fruit notes and a delicate finish of soft caramel. It’s aromatic, vibrant, and silky—an elegant reminder that the best things often grow wild and untamed.

This is coffee in its purest form—flavorful, storied, and rooted in the heart of where it all began.
