Coffee from Ethiopia - Sidamo Waru.

Ethiopia, as it is commonly known, is the home of coffee, the place where coffee was born for people. What is characteristic of coffee from Ethiopia is its diversity, a true richness of coffees. Coffees from Ethiopia vary in taste, not only from region to region, but even from farm to farm and from station to station. Processing stations are places where coffee is purchased from local farmers, usually run by agricultural cooperatives - where farmers join together to build the infrastructure necessary to process coffee. Coffee in Ethiopia provides work for nearly 20% of the population of the 100 million-strong country, either directly or indirectly. Ethiopia is the 6th largest coffee exporter in the world, and it could certainly rank higher, but Ethiopians consume nearly half of their coffee locally.

The coffee we have the pleasure of offering you in the Sochaccy.co coffee shop comes from the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, the fertile highlands tucked between the Great Rift Mountains of Africa. The coffees in Sidamo are grown at significant altitudes; 1,550 to 2,200 meters above sea level. The Sidamo area is characterized by high rainfall, mineral-rich soil and favorable temperatures for coffee cultivation. The strength of Sidamo coffee lies in the diversity of flavor, resulting in complexity and richness of taste. Sidamo farmers, taking advantage of the variety of arabica ( Heirloom ) coffee that occurs naturally here, often grow a variety on their small farms. The processing stations thus produce peculiar blends of natural arabica coffee varieties, creating the unique and desirable taste of Sidamo coffee.

We roast our coffee in traditional yet modern roasters.

Ethiopia Sidamo Waru coffee is Heirloom arabica coffee varieties, processed using the wet (washed) method, come from the Waru processing station, established in 2018 by Mr. Kallon, near Kebele. The processing station is located at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters above sea level and nearly 1,000 farmers supply their harvest to the station from crops grown at altitudes of 1,900 - 2,000 meters above sea level.

Medium-roast coffee greets us with an aroma of honey, while the flavor is intensive with notes of jasmine, chocolate and citrus acidity. Light-roasted coffee is ideal for pour-over methods. For espresso machines, the medium roast is best.
