Ethiopian Sidama Bensa

The lush mountains of Sidama extend up to 2,200 meters above sea level, and as the coffee cherries gradually ripen they develop rich aromas and tastes that define Sidama coffee. Only the ripest coffee cherries are meticulously chosen. Coffee cherries are placed in raised beds exposed to the sun and dried, leaving all of the fruit on them.  This technique creates a vibrant flavor of ripe peaches, candied ginger, key lime, juicy mandarin oranges, and elderflower that will tempt any palate.
