Introduction
At Caron Service, every cup tells a story. Our passion for coffee goes far beyond tasting: it is rooted in the meeting of exceptional terroirs, artisanal know-how passed down through generations, and uncompromising ethical commitment. Today, we invite you to explore one of our most precious treasures: Moka Sidamo Ethiopia, a specialty coffee with fascinating aromas, a living reflection of the richness of Ethiopian lands and our demand for traceability and quality.
The origins of a legendary coffee: Moka Sidamo Ethiopia
Ethiopia, the universal cradle of coffee, is home to mythical terroirs where each bean concentrates the essence of a preserved culture and environment. Moka Sidamo, grown in the eponymous region in the south of the country, is globally recognized for its extraordinary aromatic complexity. On these high plateaus, over 1,500 meters above sea level, coffee trees thrive in the shade of lush vegetation, in a mild and humid climate ideal for the slow maturation of the fruit.
The Anne Caron House personally selects its beans directly from local producers, favoring traditional agricultural methods that respect biodiversity. This approach guarantees not only an incredible richness of flavors but also fair compensation for farming families, in a dynamic of ethical and responsible trade.

Sensory journey: the unique aromas of Moka Sidamo
Tasting a Moka Sidamo is embarking on an unparalleled sensory journey. This specialty coffee first seduces with its fruity nose, with notes of red berries, citrus, and jasmine. On the palate, the attack is lively, with a fine and elegant acidity, evolving into floral sweetness and then a delicately chocolatey finish. Each cup reveals a refined aromatic palette, a signature of the purity of the Sidamo terroir and the mastery of artisanal roasting carried out in our workshop in Saclay.
Enthusiasts appreciate the freshness of its aromas, its length on the palate, and its ability to surprise with each tasting. This complexity is explained by the attention given to each step: hand-picking the ripest cherries, natural sun drying, and rigorous selection of batches.

Traceability and commitment: our ethical approach from bean to cup
The excellence of Moka Sidamo would be nothing without the transparency that accompanies it. At the Anne Caron House, traceability is not a marketing argument: it is a daily requirement. We track each batch from the plantation to roasting, guaranteeing total transparency regarding origin, cultivation methods, and environmental and social practices. This close monitoring is made possible through direct and lasting relationships with our Ethiopian partners.
Our ethical commitment is also reflected in the choice of low environmental impact transports, notably with coffees transported by sail, and in the promotion of sustainable initiatives at every link in the chain. This approach is part of a global trend where the demand for ethical and sustainable coffees continues to grow, as highlighted by the International Coffee Organization. Buy your coffee with confidence, knowing that each cup contributes to a virtuous circle for producers and the planet.
The art of artisanal roasting in the French way
The secret of Moka Sidamo's aromas lies in the precision of its roasting. At Caron Service, roasting is a family affair and a matter of demand: Anne Caron, Best Worker of France Roaster, perpetuates an artisanal know-how where each batch is worked on a case-by-case basis. A slow cooking at low temperature reveals the unique personality of the bean, preserving its floral and fruity notes while ensuring an irresistible roundness on the palate.
This expertise is dedicated to consistency and excellence, so that professionals and individuals find the same exceptional quality in every cup. Come experience this in our store in Paris or through our coffee workshops, to discover the secrets of roasting and tasting guided by our passionate baristas.
