Ethiopia Sidamo: coffee that tastes like strawberries and creamPosted Apr 6th 2006 4:03PM by Sarah GilbertFiled under: Coffee, Fruit, Raves & Reviews, Northern Africa, Coffee shopsYesterday I picked "Ethiopia Sidamo" from
the thermal pot at my fave local coffee
shop, on a whim. I almost never go with the boring, ordinary Colombian house blend. Sometimes I'm wowed by my
alternative selection, other times it's just coffee.Color me wowed. I can't get enough of this stuff. It
tastes like berries. No lie. And I'm sure you're thinking, coffee that tastes like berries? I totally passed that
raspberry-flavored stuff up in the coffee aisle at my grocery store. But this is more a terroir thing (do they call it terroir in coffee?). The coffee beans,
they're not that different from grapes, after all. Roasting brings out these amazingly complex and, yes, fruity flavors.
According to the roaster, Stumptown Coffee, "The cup is Neopolitan
ice cream... Intense chocolate, strawberry and creamy vanilla flavors in every sip." Plus it's organic and
fair-trade and ohmigod I am so in love with this coffee. I wish I could give you a taste, you'd never be the
same.
