Sidamo/Sundried or Nature Dry-Processed and Washed

It grows in the southernmost Ethiopian plateau, between 4,600 and 7,200 feet above sea level (Sidamo province), southeast of Gima, due south of the capital. It is usually sweeter and more popular than most people. Its annual yield is about 225000bags/60kg. The beans are smaller than Longberry, and the green and gray are mixed. In the sun drying field of Sidamo, coffee is placed in a hemp net rack. Workers take turns to stir the coffee in the sun. Solarized Sidamo is usually labeled as G4 outlet, washed Sidamo because the treatment process is more perfect than solarization, so most of them are G2 outlet.

Sunlight tastes close to floral, but slightly earthy. A nutty fruity, slightly cacao nose when washed, but smooth texture and viscosity, pleasant acidity and aromas. Medium roast is good for single serve, deep roast for blend coffee and base of good Espresso.

Yirga-Cheffe/Washed

Yirga is the name of a town in Sidama, meaning stable, and Cheffee means municipality.

It grows at an altitude of 5,700 - 7,800 feet in the South Ethiopian Plateau, located in the northwest of Sidamo Province, near Abaya Lake. It is usually sweet and popular with most people. It produces about 225000bags/60kg per year. The bean is smaller than Longberry, and the color is green and gray. Most of them are washed. In the washing plant, coffee fruit after harvest, fermentation in a tank filled with water, workers use a simple wooden rake stirring, in order to facilitate the smooth cleaning, washing plant always has a pungent fruit acid fermentation smell, and the sound of fruit collision with each other in the tank, fruit thick soft, directly shelled and washed, leaving only sheepskin coated fruit, fruit after the final washing, directly dried outside the washing plant.

Taste similar to lemon and citrus complex, taste excellent viscosity, complex flavor (personally think sometimes because of its loud name and people have been over-emphasized and exaggerated suspicion, even though I like its flavor), mostly exported as G2, suitable for medium baking as a single product.
