Introduction
At Café Anne Caron, every coffee tells a story, a journey, an emotion. Moka Sidamo Ethiopia embodies more than just a taste pleasure: it is the result of artisanal craftsmanship, a deep ethical commitment, and a passion passed down through generations by Maison Anne Caron. Today, we invite you to discover how this specialty coffee, selected with rare rigor and locally roasted in Saclay, can transform your daily tasting into a true sensory and responsible experience.
Moka Sidamo: A legendary terroir for coffee lovers
Ethiopia, the historical cradle of coffee, is home to some of the most sought-after beans in the world. Sidamo, a mountainous region in the south of the country, offers ideal conditions for producing coffee with exceptional aromatic richness. This terroir, where coffee grows at altitude, on fertile soils and under natural shade, gives birth to beans with unique profiles, marked by floral, fruity, and sometimes spicy notes.
At Maison Anne Caron, we select our Moka Sidamo Ethiopia directly from partner plantations, thus valuing the authenticity of a recognized terroir and the traceability of each harvest. It is in this relationship of trust and respect with producers that the incomparable quality of our Sidamo is born.
Artisanal roasting: The art of revealing exotic flavors
The secret of great coffee lies as much in the selection of the bean as in the mastery of roasting. Anne Caron, Best Craftsman of France Roaster, perpetuates a family know-how that enhances the aromas of Moka Sidamo. With each batch in our workshop in Saclay, the roasting is adjusted to reveal the complexity of the aromatic profile: lively attack, notes of jasmine, a hint of citrus, and a delicately chocolatey finish.
This artisanal approach, at the heart of our identity, ensures impeccable consistency and freshness. Our goal is simple: to offer every enthusiast, whether novice or passionate, a tasting that surprises, awakens curiosity, and invites you to (re)discover coffee differently.

An ethical commitment, from bean to cup
Behind every cup of Moka Sidamo, there is a strong choice: that of an ethical and sustainable supply chain. We prioritize direct trade with small producers, fairly compensated for their work, in respect of the environment and local traditions. This approach translates into long-term partnerships, transparency about origin, and measured impact.
Our ethical coffee is part of the desire to offer a product that is good for you, for those who cultivate it, and for the planet. We are also committed to responsible transport solutions, such as coffee transported by sail, to reduce our carbon footprint. This choice aligns with the expectations of French consumers, who are increasingly sensitive to the traceability and sustainability of their coffee, as confirmed by data from the Coffee Observatory.
