Sidamo at its most direct. Unroasted whole coffee beans, and completely in your hands. Grade 1 Sidamo green coffee beans, sourced directly from high-altitude farms in southern Ethiopia and shipped to you unroasted. 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. These are whole unroasted coffee beans intended for home roasting. Roast them, grind them, and brew them like any other coffee. 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. Unroasted coffee beans store for up to 18 months, so you can buy a bag today and roast it whenever you want the freshest possible cup. Sidamo grown between 1,800 and 2,200 metres on volcanic red soil develops a natural sweetness and depth you can taste in the cup. 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 roasts it. Origin & Traceability Origin: Ethiopia, widely regarded as the birthplace of Arabica coffee Region: Sidama (Sidamo), South-Central Ethiopia Altitude: 1,800-2,200 metres, volcanic red soil Processing Method: Natural (dry process) Grade: Grade 1, ECX-graded, unroasted Producer Information: Sourced directly from high-altitude farms in the Sidama growing zone, imported by Buna Utopia without a US-based broker intermediary Traceability: Single-region, single-grade lot, not blended with other origins or grades Flavor Notes (by roast level) Light: blueberry, wild florals. Medium: dark berry, fudge, full body. Dark: rich cocoa, warm spice. Roast Recommendation Sidamo's fruit-forward profile holds up well across roast levels; medium roast is a good starting point for espresso or milk drinks. Store green beans in a cool, dark, airtight container; they hold well for up to 18 months unroasted. Brewing Recommendations Once roasted, works well as espresso (fine grind, 18g in / 36g out / 25-30 sec starting point) or immersion brewing like French press.
