Sidamo is the largest coffee-growing region in Ethiopia and is we l-known throughout the world for the quality of its coffee. Coffee originated in Ethiopia and grows wildly in the coffeegrowing regions there. Unlike in other coffee-growing countries, which have one or very few coffee varieties on a farm, it is far more varied in Ethiopia. Therefore, most coffee labels say“heirloom varieties.” Ethiopian coffee farms are generallyextremely small, the vast majority less than 3.5 hectares, and thus do not produce immense quantities of coffee. So, they band together into cooperatives or other groups and operate washing stations.
