The Sidama Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative Union (SCFCU) was founded in 2001 to represent coffee producing cooperatives located throughout the Sidama Zone of Southern Ethiopia. Currently, the SCFCU has grown to represent 47 cooperatives and about 80,000 farmers making the SCFCU the second largest coffee producing cooperative union in Ethiopia. The Nura Korate Cooperative is located in the Dara district of the Sidama zone, at an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level. We have found this coffee to exhibit sweet citrus and strong floral notes, and because of the consistently excellent cup, we try to source coffees from this specific coop each year.
