One of the most famous coffee origins in Ethiopia

Sale price119,00 kr

With the help of our friend Daniel, we have sourced this beautiful Ethiopian Coffee from Sidama. We are now proud to offer this coffee as a single origin, previously reserved only for our signature blend Amokka Crema.

“It’s an open secret that Ethiopia is one of our favourite origins. Ethiopian coffee has some of the most dynamic and interesting flavours you’ll find anywhere in the world.  The complexity and depth is outstanding.

We recommend it for both filter and espresso but perhaps with a little less milk than usual – or dare to drink it black! – you’ll be surprised how sweet and gentle it is. 

In Haji Suleiman we find, typical to Sidama coffee, an elegant and sweet floral aroma with flavours of stone fruit and berries. This coffee has bright acidity balanced with a rich body and a long lingering aftertaste. It’s truly a memorable cup.”

Haji's Washing Station

The Role of Washing Stations in Ethiopian Coffee


Coffee trading and processing in Ethiopia follow a unique structure, shaped by both tradition and regulation. Unlike in many other coffee-producing countries, where farmers often process and sell their own coffee, Ethiopian smallholder farmers typically deliver their cherries to a central washing station. These stations play a crucial role in maintaining quality, as they oversee fermentation, washing, and drying, steps that significantly influence the final cup profile.

Hadji’s Station in Sidama is one such place, where coffee is processed using the washed (or wet) method. This technique is known for producing clean, bright coffees with pronounced acidity and floral or citrus notes. The process starts when farmers arrive with freshly harvested cherries. In contrast to the traditional system, where farmers might have to wait months to receive payment, Hadji and his team pay them immediately upon delivery. This small but important change provides stability for farmers while ensuring a steady supply of ripe, high-quality coffee.

Once the cherries are received, they go through de-pulping, where the outer skin is removed, leaving the beans covered in a sticky layer of mucilage. The beans then undergo fermentation in water, a process that naturally breaks down the remaining fruit residue. After fermentation, the coffee is meticulously washed several times in long canals, where workers stir and agitate the beans to remove any remaining mucilage. This ensures a crisp and clean flavour in the final cup.

The beans are then transferred to raised drying beds, where they are carefully monitored as they dry under the sun. Throughout this stage, workers, many of them women, hand-sort the beans to remove defects and ensure consistent quality. Once fully dried, the coffee is stored in a warehouse before being prepared for export.
