Delivery and Returns

Delivery Update 06/08/25 – Royal Mail 48
Many Royal Mail 48 deliveries are delayed in certain areas due Royal Mail scanning issues and staff shortages. The Royal Mail tracking simply says 'We are expecting it'. This is not correct. Royal Mail collects from Redber daily at 16h00.  All our orders are dispatched within 24 to 48 hours.  Please allow a little extra time for your order to arrive. If your parcel is urgent we suggest you use the 24 hour service. 

Due to the poor services our customers are receiving from Royal Mail we will be reviewing the companies we use for delivery in the coming months. 

You can find the latest updates from Royal Mail here.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Brewing Methods and Serving Suggestions

The smooth and balanced profile of Ethiopia Sidama Gr. 2 Medium-Dark Roast shines best when brewed using a drip filter machine, which highlights the coffee’s lemony brightness and floral aroma while preserving its soft, smooth body. This roast also works beautifully in a cafetière, where the enhanced depth and complexity can be fully appreciated, providing a rich and flavourful cup that is perfect for any time of day.

Ethiopia Sidama Coffee Origin and Details

Ethiopia Sidama coffee comes from the Sidama region, located south of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. This region is renowned for its ideal coffee-growing conditions, with altitudes ranging from 1,600 to 1,900 meters above sea level, rich volcanic soil, ample rainfall, and optimal temperatures. These conditions make Sidama one of Ethiopia's most productive and sought-after coffee regions, known for producing high-quality beans with distinct flavours and a unique character.

The Sidama beans are of the Typica variety and are fully washed to ensure clarity and consistency in the cup. The washed processing method involves removing the mucilage from the coffee cherries before fermentation, resulting in a cleaner, brighter cup with enhanced acidity and refined flavours. The Grade 2 classification for Sidama coffee indicates a high-quality washed coffee with minimal defects (4-12 defects per 300g), showcasing the careful attention to detail in its production.

Ethiopia is believed to be the birthplace of coffee, with wild Coffea Arabica plants growing in the forests of the Kaffa region. Ethiopian coffees, especially those from Sidama, are celebrated for their varied and distinctive flavour profiles, which can range from sweet and fruity to floral and tea-like.

  • Country: Ethiopia
  • Region: Sidama
  • Altitude: 1,600 - 1,900 m above sea level
  • Variety: 100% Typica
  • Harvest Period: October - December
  • Processing Method: Fully washed

Ethiopia Sidama Gr. 2 is a great choice for those who appreciate a vibrant and distinctive cup that reflects the unique terroir of Ethiopia

Decent quality

Consistently good quality and have been buying the beans to grind for some time. Coffee is not too strong but you still get a strength of taste. Price is reasonable to drink this every day.
