Front Street-introduction to Sidamo Coffee

Sidamo Sidamo, also known as Sidama Sidama, is the highest coffee-producing region in Ethiopia and was an independent province before the promulgation of the new constitution in 1995. Today, the area is divided into three administrative regions of the Southern National Autonomous Prefecture, SNNPR, Somali of Somalia and Oromia of Euromia. The micro-producing areas of Gucci Guji and Yega Snow Coffee Yirgacheffe are also located in Sidamo, but are sold under their own names.

Sidamo is a large area in southern Ethiopia and is home to farmers in Sidamo. Sidama Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, the Coffee Farmers' Cooperative Union in Sidamo, is just a farmers' union, which still makes a living by growing, harvesting and selling coffee. There are more than 80,000 independent farmers in this alliance alone. Fairtrade, USDA organic products and other certifications are readily available for Sidamo Coffee.

Coffee production in this area is closely related to their culture. The methods of growing, harvesting and processing coffee are handed down from generation to generation. The coffee culture of Sidamo is profound and has a long history. This makes Sidamo coffee more fascinating than Brazilian coffee.

Almost the entire Sidamo region is strictly high-altitude, and coffee grows at an altitude of 1600 to 1900 meters, which means that coffee here grows longer than average before it is ripe for picking.

Different soil types, microclimates and countless native coffee species, towering mountains, highlands, plateaus, valleys and plains, diverse topography, and the geology of the area belongs to nutrient-rich, well-drained volcanic soil. the depth of the soil is nearly two meters, and the surface soil is dark brown or brown.

The biggest advantage of the area is that the soil fertility is maintained through the circulation of organic matter, using the withered leaves of the surrounding trees or the residual roots of the plants as fertilizer. Therefore, the coffee produced in cities and towns has obvious differences and characteristics. In 2010, Murray 2012, it continuously obtained the high score of CR92--94, the authoritative coffee evaluation website in the United States. Thus it can be seen that the raw beans in this area are extraordinary.

The climate in this area is humid and tropical. Unfortunately, the climate in West Dharma is slowly changing because of climate change and global warming. The extent and speed of climate change can only be estimated, but it will undoubtedly have an impact on the growth and taste of coffee here. We can only hope that this will be a positive impact.

Knowledge: good quality coffee fruit generally has a good shading effect, shade can block the hot sun at noon, reduce the metabolic rate of coffee, and contribute to the development of nutrients, fruit acids and aromatic substances.
