origin and provenance

Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of coffee, where Coffea Arabica has grown wild for centuries. Here, coffee is more than an agricultural crop: it is an integral part of people’s culture, spirituality, and daily lives.
In the Sidamo region in the south of the country, plants grow at high elevations—around 1,600 meters—in a unique microclimate characterized by regular rainfall, rich volcanic soils, and high biodiversity. Local smallholders, often organized into cooperatives, hand-pick the cherries, selecting only those that are perfectly ripe. The washed process, followed by careful drying on raised African beds, produces an exceptionally clean, bright, and complex cup.
Ethiopian Heirloom varieties, ancient and not yet fully classified, are the basis of Sidamo’s extraordinary aromatic profile: the cup features pronounced floral notes, hints of black tea, rose petals, and citrus, with elegant sweetness and bright acidity.
