From the roaster

Ethiopia, known as the birthplace of coffee, has a traditional coffee ceremony to recognize its importance to the land and people. We think the Sidama roast represents the region well with bright notes of floral and fruit, and a hint of citrus. Traditionally, Sidama beans are natural or dry-processed, but this batch is wash-processed, bringing out a clean-tasting floral cup with hints of lemon grass. Make this coffee part of your daily coffee ritual. You won’t be disappointed.

Context

This washed Heirloom from Ethiopia's Sidama region sits at a sweet spot between elevation and processing clarity. Grown between 1900–2000 masl, the coffee benefits from the cooler conditions typical of higher-altitude cultivation while the washed process preserves the crisp, bright character for which the origin is known.

Buddy Brew Coffee highlights brown sugar sweetness alongside citrus and floral notes—a profile suggesting the wine-like clarity and delicate complexity often found in refined Ethiopian lots. The layering of lemon, fruit punch, and lemongrass speaks to both the fruit-forward nature of many washed East African coffees and the distinctive terroir of this respected growing region.
