Sidamo producing area (Sidama) is located in southern Ethiopia. The industry here is dominated by agriculture, and the coffee growing area is located around the East African Great Rift Valley (Great Rift Valley). The largest town in Sidama province is Hawassa, which is an important local coffee export distribution center. The coffee flavor of Sidamo is very diverse, because of the different soil composition, regional microclimate and countless native coffee varieties, the coffee produced in each urban area has obvious differences and characteristics. Ardi is located in the southern part of Guji and Oromia, close to Sidama and Gedeo. This batch is produced in a small village near the town of Michicha & KelensoMoconissa in the Guji producing area of Sidama province. There are seven hundred small coffee farmer families under the Ardi cooperative, named Ardi after the discovery of 4.4 million-year-old fossilized female remains in 1992. The treatment of Ardi is quite meticulous, with ripe cherries artificially picked and dried on tall African scaffolding for three weeks. Throughout the three-week drying process, the workers stirred every two hours and stirred continuously by hand every day to ensure even drying, ensuring that the sun-ripe coffee cherry fruits were of the same quality and finished into the final product.

Its improved sun drying method aims at two shortcomings of the traditional method: when picking beans, only fully ripe crimson coffee cherries are picked. Before exposure, the beans will be screened for defective beans in the treatment plant to make the beans look average in size and maturity. Next, use tall wooden frames or whole scaffolding for the sun to avoid the risk of beans smelling on the ground. In the process of exposure, take good care of beans, so that coffee beans can be evenly exposed to water loss; every three to five days, coffee workers will manually screen out bad moldy beans. Therefore, before the beans enter the market to remove the peel and flesh, a bright crimson coffee cherry has been tanned with black coffee and excellent grade raw beans.
