Ethiopian Sidamo Green Coffee Beans Grade 1 – Unroasted | Home Roasting | 12oz
Unroasted · Raw Green · 12 oz
Sidamo at its most direct. Raw, unroasted, and completely in your hands. Grade 1 Sidamo green beans, sourced directly from high-altitude farms in southern Ethiopia and shipped to you before any heat is applied. The same beans we use for our roasted Sidamo line. The same zero-defect Grade 1 standard. The difference is you decide what happens next. Roast light and blueberry and wild florals come forward, clean and vibrant. Medium roast brings dark berry and fudge with a full body that surprises you. Go dark and you get rich cocoa and warm spice with a finish that stays long after the cup is empty. Sidamo rewards every roast level differently. That is what makes it worth roasting yourself. Green coffee stores for up to 18 months, so you can buy a bag today and roast it whenever you want the freshest possible cup. Sidamo between 1,800 and 2,200 metres on volcanic red soil produces beans with a natural sweetness and depth that no other region matches. When you roast it fresh at home, you taste that quality at its peak. Sourced without middlemen. Shipped from Detroit within 48 hours of your order. This is what Ethiopian coffee tastes like before anyone else touches it.

Origin
