The Sidamo Heritage
Sidamo is one of the most famous coffee-growing regions in the world, known for its diverse micro-climates and “garden coffee” cultivation.Being Grade 1 means this lot has undergone the strictest sorting process, ensuring that only the most perfect cherries make it into your cup. The result is a consistent, high-definition flavor profile that reflects the lush, flowery landscape of the Ethiopian rift valley.
Best Brewing Methods
The high-toned aromatics of Sidamo G1 are best preserved with careful brewing:
- Pour Over (V60/Chemex): The preferred method to unlock the “sparkling” citrus acidity and jasmine aromatics.
- French Press: Results in a sweeter, more fruit-forward cup while maintaining a silky mouthfeel.
- Espresso (Milk-Based): In a latte or flat white, the citrus notes transform into a lemon-curd or creamy fruit-tart flavor profile.
