The first of our limited time coffees in our single origin series sundried ethiopia sidamo is bursting with lush cherry fruit flavors complemented by dark chocolate notes and a deep roastiness.
In sidamo most coffee is processed using the washed method.
Dark roast whole bean coffee.
This traditional technique creates a deeply flavored sweet and full bodied cup with floral aromas followed by decadent notes of juicy berry and milk chocolate.

Available only in our stores and only for a limited time.
This is especially true in the highlands of sidama.
