Rob says: At Caffenation, coffee lovers are often drawn to Ethiopian beans – and for good reason. Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, home to thousands of varieties.
If someone isn’t “crazy” about Ethiopian coffees, the profile from SIDAMO might be a more approachable option due to its fuller body and lower acidity, especially for those who prefer less sharp or bright coffee notes. It’s interesting how Ethiopia’s diversity in coffee allows for such a wide range of tastes!
When it comes to Ethiopian washed coffee, you’ll often come across Grade 1 and Grade 2. Though Grade 2 coffee may occasionally lack the spotless finish of its higher-grade counterpart, it compensates with a fuller, more robust flavor. For those looking to strike a balance between quality and affordability, Grade 2 lots provide unbeatable value and so the perfect choice for blends without compromising on taste!
