About The Coffee
Shentawane Ethiopian Coffee is a distinguished single-origin coffee from the Sidama region, sourced explicitly from the Bensa district. This coffee represents the vibrant heritage and unique terroir of Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, where smallholder farmers cultivate their plots with care and tradition. Unlike large-scale farms, these producers grow coffee alongside other crops, relying on natural rainfall rather than irrigation, and typically avoiding fertilizers or pesticides. The cherries are harvested by hand and delivered to the Shentawane washing station, where they are carefully sorted, processed, and dried on raised beds. This community-driven approach ensures that the coffee maintains the distinctive characteristics of its origin, highlighting both the skill of the farmers and the richness of the region’s volcanic soil.
Sidama Region
Among coffee-producing countries, Ethiopia holds near-legendary status not only because it’s the “birthplace” of Arabica coffee, but also because it is simply unlike every other place in the coffee world. Unlike the vast majority of coffee-growing countries, the plant was not introduced as a cash crop through colonization. Instead, growing, processing, and drinking coffee is part of the everyday way of life, and has been for centuries since the trees were discovered growing wild in forests and eventually cultivated for household use and commercial sale.
Located in the south of Ethiopia, the Sidama region offers great-quality coffee. Sidama’s coffees have lemon-citric tones with bright acidity. Coffees from here are often classified as "Sidamo," but the region itself is known more correctly as Sidama.
