Let yourself be carried away by the elegance of the Ethiopian region of Sidamo, whose unique natural conditions have given the grains an unmistakable character.

Born in the heart of the Ethiopian highlands, this exceptional cup is a tribute to the legendary Sidamo region and will delight the most discerning coffee lovers.
The Sidamo region of southern Ethiopia, where coffee trees are grown at an altitude of 1,500-2,220 metres above sea level on volcanic, mineral-rich soils, provides conditions that lend the beans depth, vibrancy and a distinctive yet balanced acidity. Coffee cherries are harvested by Adnan Cooperative, an association of local growers that carefully selects Heirloom varieties - native Ethiopian varieties of which there are between 10,000 and 15,000 genetic variants.
The natural coffee processingmethod , also known as the dry method, is one of the oldest and most traditional ways of processing coffee beans. After harvesting, whole coffee cherries are spread out on raised African beds or concrete surfaces where they are dried in the sun for 2 to 4 weeks. During this process, the cherries are turned regularly to prevent fermentation or mould. Once they have reached optimum moisture, they are mechanically stripped of the dried skin and pulp, yielding clean coffee beans ready for further processing.
