The reputation — the story that sells at the table

SCFCU natural lots have defined the 'fruit-forward natural Ethiopia' category. Their best natural processing lots routinely win at Cup of Excellence (which expanded to Ethiopia in 2020). BC specialty roasters source through Nordic Approach, Sucafina, and similar green coffee importers.

Practice
Represents 115,000+ smallholder farmers across the Sidama zone. Produces both washed and natural-processed coffees. The SCFCU's natural lots — the famous 'blueberry bomb' natural Sidama — have become among the most sought-after natural coffees globally, scoring 92-95 at SCA competitions. Central to Sidama's economic identity now as the new regional state (2020).
