Southern Ethiopia's balanced workhorse. Still listed as "Sidamo" on price lists across the industry. Dark chocolate and nut in washed lots, berry sweetness in naturals — the region that anchors Ethiopian menus and holds up in a blend. ARDI's original home.
TL;DR for Roasters
The Region
Sidama sits between Yirgacheffe and Guji in Ethiopia's south — geographically and in the cup. Washed lots bring dark chocolate, nut, and a rounded body that survives milk. Naturals add berry and winey sweetness without the ferment risk of wilder preparations. It's the Ethiopian that behaves.
That balance is why ARDI came from here first, and why Sidama is the region we can offer in every preparation — including decaf that still tastes like Ethiopia. Read more on the Sidama region page, or compare regions in our buying guide.

Common Questions
Yes — same growing region in southern Ethiopia. "Sidamo" is the older trade spelling still common on price lists; "Sidama" is the region's own name, standard since it gained federal status in 2020.
Sidama is the one region we can offer in every preparation: naturals including ARDI (our trademarked natural, 17 consecutive harvests), washed lots with chocolate-nut clarity, a value-grade natural for blends, and both Swiss Water and UVVW decafs.
