Ethiopian Sidamo coffee from the Sidamo region, grown at 1500-2200 meters altitude. This washed coffee features oolong and jasmine flavor notes with apricot sweetness and floral characteristics. It brews smoothly and balanced as filter coffee with a clear cup, while developing a more vibrant, spritzer-like quality when prepared as espresso.
