Sidamo (officially renamed Sidama in 2020 when it became its own regional state) is one of Ethiopia's most prolific and celebrated coffee-growing regions. Located in southern Ethiopia, the Sidama zone spans a vast area of highland terrain with altitudes ranging from 1,550 to 2,200 meters, producing coffees with remarkable complexity and diversity.
Sidamo coffees are known for their berry-forward flavor profiles, wine-like acidity, and rich, full body. The region's volcanic soil, abundant rainfall, and ideal growing temperatures create conditions that produce some of Ethiopia's most consistent specialty lots.
While Yirgacheffe is technically part of the Sidama zone, it is classified as a separate trade category due to its distinctive profile. Broader Sidamo coffees tend to be heavier-bodied and more fruit-forward than their Yirgacheffe counterparts, often with pronounced blueberry, strawberry, and stone fruit notes, especially in natural-processed lots.
