Ethiopia Sidamo Santawene G1 Natural

Ethiopia Sidamo Santawene G1 Natural Coffee Beans

This coffee comes from the Santawene (Shantawene) station in the Bensa area of Sidama, Ethiopia, a G1 natural lot. Santawene is known for its high altitude, fertile volcanic soil, and careful natural processing, producing consistently high-quality sun-dried coffees from the region.

Natural processing allows whole ripe cherries to dry slowly on raised beds, fully absorbing the fruit’s sweetness. Cupping notes are sweet and juicy: prominent strawberry and blueberry on the front, followed by tropical fruit (mango, pineapple) and plum richness, finishing with delicate honey and soft floral aftertaste. The acidity is bright and lively, with full balanced sweetness and excellent clarity — like drinking a fresh berry juice.

Rias champion team uses a medium-light roast to preserve the fruit character and brightness. Excellent in pour-over, cold brew, and espresso.
