Beauties in South Ethiopia, Sidama Zone

Image
This week I have been to Bensa Daye Woreda in Sidama Zone and I took some pictures (Even though I am not a professional photographer,I tried my best to do it). Bensa Daye is some 135 km far away from Awassa and 270 km from Wolaita Soddo. Naturally Bensa Daye is the source of Ethiopian coffee and other beautiful fruits like banana etc. Tabour Terara ( Mount Tabour) just 5 km away from Awassa Large Cattle field near Aleta Wondo, about 50 km away from Awassa Sidama Cultural Hats ( Sidamas are using the same ways to build their hats with Wolaitas). According to the experts these hats have 50 up to 100 years life span. Surprising!!! Inset (False Banana) is the main edible plant in the whole parts of Southern region. It is evergreen plant. If a family has no any of it in its garden, that family is said to be  extremely poor in our culture. In my experience, I know many families who have no any  “Inset”  in their garden, that mean there are many poor families in the region

Counter Culture coffee: Shilicho, Sidama, Ethiopia

Image
Ecco’s Brazilian coffee is just about done at all locations. That means we are moving to Counter Culture for our next guest coffee. It’s been fun getting to know these guys. They roast their beans down in Durham, North Carolina. I am so excited about this coffee. It is from a great coffee growing region in the southern part of Ethiopia, called Sidama. The name of the coffee is Shilicho which translates to “Good Taste” in Sidama. Not as wild as some other coffees from Ethiopia (Yirgacheffe), which can be very sour with varying degrees of fruitiness. This one is sort of sweet, round, and vibrant. If you take cream, we suggest you try it black first. You might be surprised how it tastes. We’ll be pouring this Ethiopian coffee for the next few weeks at all our locations. Oh and the picture is the bar at the HUB in Inman Square, we’ve been making food there since Saturday. http://www.cloverfoodlab.com/counter-culture-shilicho-sidama-ethiopia/
