Moka Sidamo from Ethiopia: an exceptional terroir and a millennia-old story
Ethiopia, the original cradle of coffee, has been cultivating varieties of unparalleled richness for centuries. In the Sidamo region, the geographical and climatic conditions, between high plateaus and shaded forests, provide coffee trees with a natural setting conducive to the expression of aromas. The Moka Sidamo stands out for the fineness of its beans, sourced from plantations worked according to traditional methods, often in agroforestry and without chemical fertilizers. This attention to every step allows Sidamo coffee to be among the most sought-after specialty coffees in the world. To delve deeper into the history and diversity of coffee terroirs, the International Coffee Organization offers a detailed overview of the origin of coffee in Ethiopia.
A rare aromatic profile: the art of tasting at Café Caron
What makes the Moka Sidamo from Ethiopia renowned is its exceptional aromatic palette. From the grind, delicate notes of jasmine, yellow fruits, and citrus escape, typical of great African crus. In the cup, the lively and elegant acidity is balanced by a honeyed sweetness and remarkable floral length. At Maison Anne Caron, artisanal roasting reveals the full potential of these exceptional beans, respecting a know-how passed down from generation to generation.
