Kaibedo is a small coffee cooperative in a small town in Dala, Sidamo Province. each small coffee farmer here has an average planting area of about 0.6 hectares and is composed of hundreds of coffee farmers. it is planted nearly 2000 meters above sea level, the climate varies greatly, and the soil is fertile, providing an excellent growing environment, and the raw bean itself exudes a strong aroma of raisins and fermented wine. The nearly yellowish-brown beans are actually small and slender, but the weight on the hands is very solid. After baking, we find that the bright berry aroma, or rich chocolate-like aftertaste, makes this bean have an eye-catching performance whether it is light baked or deep baked.

Flavor: berries, tropical fruits, fermented wine, jujube, tea, milk chocolate. Medium body, with a hint of spices and tea on the finish, is complex and long-lasting, tastes cleaner and more balanced after cooling.

From the shape of the bean, this bean is a typical Ethiopian, small grain, the size is not very uniform, the color is the characteristic of typical sun treatment, so it is specially compared with Harald. Sidamo Coffee beans are grayish, thick in some places and small in others, with soft and strong acidity, mellow and sweet and spicy. It is one of the courtyard coffees in the highlands of southern Ethiopia. Unlike ordinary African coffee, Sidamo has clear acidity, smooth taste and delicate floral smell.

The taste of Sidama in the sun is close to the smell of flowers, but it is about a little earthy. Water washing has a nutty fruit aroma with a slight cocoa aroma, but what the two have in common is smooth taste and viscosity, comfortable and pleasant acidity and fragrance. Light or medium roasting is suitable for individual products, while medium or deep roasting is suitable for blending coffee and good Espresso base.

The washed Sidamo is light green, the beans are small, the growth is oval, the fruit is full, the average quality is good, the smell is fragrant and mellow, a drop of entrance, endless aftertaste, with wild beauty. It is elegant and playful, the entrance taste is mild and pleasant, and later bright lemon acid form a strong taste impact, the taste is unique and mellow, the taste is unique and pleasant, and the slowly rising end rhyme contains chic sweetness.
