Sidama Ardi


Sidama is one of the most recognised and celebrated regions for high quality naturally processed coffees in Ethiopia.

About 60 miles south of the famous small town of Yirgacheffe there is a town called Hagere Maryam. All of the Ardi coffee comes from one mill in this town. This is a natural processed coffee, which helps to yield the super typical berry and floral characteristics that are found in the cup.

In order to control the drying process of this coffee it is first dried for two weeks on raised beds in the sun. The coffee is sorted by hand as it dries. Any under-ripe cherry (green in colour) stands in stark contrast to all the red cherries on the bed. All the under-ripe cherries are removed, and after two weeks, the coffee is set to dry on a concrete patio.

The striker's move highlights the ongoing trades as some teams aim to strengthen and fill the gaps in their squads. The National Football Federation revealed so far that 17 transfers have been done by the time Eshetu's deal was confirmed. Eshetu was back to his hometown team Hawassa Kenema, where it all began for him. He is the second signing for Lakers in this transfer window after Abdissa Jemal joined them from Adama City. Wubetu Abate's Fasil Kenema have also made two signings. The first one is the left winger Afkrot Solomon from Hambericho Durame. The other signing is defender Habib Mohammed from Adama City. Gebremedhin Haile's Ethiopian Insurance were the first team to sign several players, including Hayder Sherefa from Adama City, Tekelamriam Shanko from Mekelakeya, Ananiya
