Ethiopia Dry Process Sidama Shantawene (City Roast)

Tasting Notes:

Fruits flavors are heavy handed in the cup, light roasts showing notes of strawberry jam, berry juice, stone fruits, fruity natural wines, and berry-like acidity that manages to cut through the the complex flavors.

Farm Notes:

This coffee comes from a privately owned farm and processing site near Shantawene Village, tucked away in the Bombe mountains of Ethiopia's Sidama growing region. The processing mill is certified organic, although [Sweet Maria’s] did not purchase the certificate for this particular lot. The processors go to great lengths to register every small farmer who they buy from and certify that organic agricultural practices are being employed at the farm level (they're also Rain Forest Alliance and UTZ certified). The farm and outgrowers are growing Ethiopian heirlooms and altitude ranges from just under 2000 meters to 2100 meters above sea level.
