It’s a coffee made for those seeking more than an ordinary flavor and who appreciate the fascinating diversity of specialty coffee.

Ethiopia Sidamo – From the birthplace of Arabica coffee

Ethiopia holds a special place in the world of coffee, as it is considered the birthplace of Coffea arabica.

The Sidamo region is prized for its diverse coffees, high altitudes, and aromatic profiles that can blend fruity, floral, and citrus notes.

Grown at altitudes of 1,550–2,200 m, Cafessi Ethiopia Sidamo reflects the potential of this origin with an elegant, expressive, and refreshingly vibrant aromatic profile.

Local Heirloom varieties play an important role. The coffee industry uses this term to describe the many traditional varieties and local coffee tree populations found in Ethiopia.

This genetic diversity is one of the characteristics that make Ethiopian coffees so interesting to coffee enthusiasts.

Peach, bergamot, and jasmine – A distinctive aromatic experience

Imagine a coffee where the delicate sweetness of peach mingles with the freshness of lemon, the elegance of bergamot, and the subtle fragrance of jasmine.

That’s the character of Cafessi Ethiopia Sidamo.

From the very first sips, you’ll discover a bright profile with well-defined fruity and floral accents, complemented by a smooth, silky texture.

Vibrant acidity adds freshness, while the lingering finish, with hints of fruit and black tea, extends the tasting experience.

Tasting profile:

• Peach: Delicate fruity notes with pleasant sweetness.
• Bergamot: Elegant citrus accents with a fragrant character.
• Lemon: Freshness and bright acidity that bring energy to the aromatic profile.
• Jasmine: Delicate floral notes that add refinement and complexity.

Acidity: Medium, vibrant, and pleasant
Body: Medium, with a silky texture
Finish: Fresh and lingering, with notes of fruit and black tea

These notes are natural tasting characteristics of the coffee, not added flavors.

Natural processing – Expressive, complex aromas

One of the elements that defines this coffee’s character is natural processing (Natural Process).

Unlike washed processing, this method dries the coffee cherries with the fruit pulp still intact before the beans are separated from the outer layers.

Natural processing can contribute to greater sweetness and complex fruity notes, significantly shaping the final experience in the cup.

For Ethiopia Sidamo, this method complements the floral and fruity aromatic profile, bringing out the peach, bergamot, lemon, and jasmine notes.

The result is a coffee with a distinctive identity, ideal for those who appreciate expressive flavors and unique tasting experiences.

Cafessi artisan roasting – Passion in every detail

A coffee with such a delicate aromatic profile deserves a roast that respects its character.

At Cafessi, we artisan-roast coffee in small batches, aiming to highlight the particular qualities of each origin.

For Ethiopia Sidamo, we chose a Light–Medium roast to preserve the freshness of the fruity notes, the elegance of the floral aromas, and the balance between acidity and sweetness.

By carefully controlling the roasting process, we aim to bring an expressive coffee to your cup without masking its delicate aromas with an overly dark roast.

Each batch is carefully roasted in small quantities so you can enjoy freshly roasted specialty coffee with authentic character.

Available exclusively as whole beans, Ethiopia Sidamo gives you the option to grind it just before brewing and explore its full aromatic potential.
