Sidamo Shakiso Coffee country of Origin-Flavor description Variety introduction of the Manor

Origin: Sidamo Shakiso producing area in southern Ethiopia

Blind test: Ethiopian coffee is mostly in the sun, but now it seems to have changed in recent years, and the fine coffee movement has made people's mouths more and more picky.

Less gossip, the aroma is obvious: according to Westerners, it is rose tea, but I think it is more like the taste of brown sugar and ginger soup, as well as the tonality of honey and oranges. This one is obviously purer than other Sidamo. Under the background of sour and sweet flavor, you can taste the flavor of candied fruit, flowers and chocolate. The palate is a little thin, but very smooth. The tail rhyme has the taste of milk, caramel and chocolate, all of which are typical of Ethiopia. The taste level is very complex but distinct. This is probably why it scored so high (the price is also so high. Ethiopia has two of the best producing areas, Yiragcheffe and Sidamo. Sidamo is located in a plateau region south of Ethiopia. Sidamo has a balanced acidity and moderate consistency. In Ethiopia, people usually have a cup of mocha coffee for breakfast to replenish the energy and vitality of the day.

As Ethiopia's classification system is still very backward, it can be divided into special grades (usually Yirgacheffe and Sidamo), level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4 and level 5.

In Ethiopia, Japanese beans are usually found, such as small stones or twigs, so special attention should be paid to the variety of flavors of Sidamo coffee when grinding. 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 2010-2012, 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.

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 and smooth taste. And with a delicate smell of flowers and plants, the land area and condition: 1127127 square kilometers, almost three times the size of California (about 34 times the size of Taiwan), the territory is mountainous, due to frequent earthquakes, there are many fault longitudinal valleys in the plateau, and the terrain forms a strong contrast. the desert is located on the southwest border (Kalahari) and north (Sahara), and near the coastline is a hot lowland of dwarf bushes. The country is almost a high plateau with an average elevation of 2500-3000 meters, which is connected by several high mountains. There is a Tana Lake on the northwest plateau, which is the source of the Nile River, from which the lake forms a semicircle flowing out of the mountain valley clockwise until it flows out of Sudan. The Sahara Desert covers part of the area and is rich in mineral reserves, known as the Horn of Africa.
