Java Love Coffee Roasting Light Roast Ethiopia Sidama

Roasted to perfectly highlight the already fruity tones of this natural processed coffee, Java Love Coffee Roasting Co.'s Light Roast Sidama brings forth bright berry flavours with a tea-like body and chocolate finish.

Java Love Coffee Roasting Co. is another New Jersey and New York-based coffee roaster participating in the Café Femenino program which I discovered via Baratza's website. I ordered a 12oz bag of whole beans on 5th December. I brewed the beans via Chemex later that week. These Ethiopia Sidama beans have a flavour profile typical of Ethiopian coffee with subtle fruit and berry flavours.

Buy the Cup Ethiopian Sidamo

Vitaliy, roaster and owner of Buy the Cup in Rocky Hill, has experimented with some new beans. The latest is Ethiopian Sidamo. Some of the world’s finest coffees, such as Harrar and Yirgacheffee, originate in Ethiopia and are named for the region of origin. You can count Sidamo among them.

Ah. I love my morning cup of coffee. Whether I brew with a French Press or Chemex, I enjoy the 4-5 minutes each morning when I am focused on nothing else except the steep and the pour. And then when it's ready, that first sip is like waking up with the warm sun shining through the curtains while the Caribbean trade winds blow gently across your face. Ah!

I dropped in this morning and picked up a pound of the Sidamo. Vitaliy is friendly, and we chatted about some other coffee beans he is bringing into the store soon. I brewed the Sidamo in my Chemex using a paper filter. My wife and I agree that the drink was smooth, fruity - as Ethiopian coffees tend to be - and stands up well to cream. I drink my coffee black, so you'll have to take my wife's word on that bit. I tasted dark chocolate.
