Ethiopia Sidama Ardi

Tasting notes: Strawberry, black tea, tropical.

In the Cup 

What makes this coffee truly special, and why we continue to bring it back year after year, is the clarity and complexity of flavors it presents. This is a rare quality in naturally processed coffees, which typically present big (sometimes funky) berry aromas and a muddled mix of hard-to-discern flavors. Ardi exhibits distinct notes of berry, subtle mango, black tea and caramel. It has a creamy mouthfeel. If you're looking to jump into natural coffees, or are a processing methods fanatic, you'll love this coffee!  It's an excellent illustration of what the best of natural process Ethiopian coffees from this region can taste like. 

Origin & Producer 

This coffee comes to us from our long-time importing partners at Keffa Coffee, who have worked closely with farms in the Sidama region for the last 16 years to ensure quality processing of their coffees. The coffee is carefully picked and sorted, and dried on raised beds for 15-18 days. 

The long partnerships surrounding this coffee continue with us as well. We've sourced this coffee from Keffa since year one of our operations. We continue to be impressed with the clarity and depth of flavor, bringing it back each season as one of our most popular offerings.
