Grade 1 is Ethiopia's highest quality classification — near-zero defects, clean cup across every tasted sample. This lot carries a high cupping score of SCA 85, placing it firmly in the excellent tier of specialty classification. The washed process produces the floral, precise, and transparent cup that Sidama Grade 1 is known for: jasmine, floral, vanilla, and berry, with a bright well-balanced character and full smooth acidity. Recommended for medium, medium-dark, and dark roast — excellent for espresso roasting, and medium roast also performs well across filter brewing. Density 1,045 g\/L, water activity 0.563. Available in 1 lb, 2.5 lb, 10 lb, 15 lb, and 30 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #d4621a; font-weight: 600; margin: 0.5rem 0 1.5rem;\"\u003eShips across Canada.

The zone sits in southern Ethiopia at 1,800 to 2,100 metres above sea level, where smallholder farmers cultivate mixed heirloom Arabica varieties in backyard garden plots. These heirloom varieties have never been commercially bred or formally classified — they grow wild and semi-wild, contributing hundreds of genetic variants to every harvest that produce the layered, complex cup character that defines the best Sidama lots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eGrade 1 is Ethiopia's highest green coffee export classification under the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority grading system. It permits virtually no defects per 300g sample and requires clean cup quality across all tasted cups. A washed Grade 1 Sidama at SCA 85 represents the top tier of what this origin produces — the cup score confirms exceptional quality verified by a certified professional cupper, and the Grade 1 classification confirms near-zero physical defects that would cause inconsistency in the roaster. The floral, jasmine, vanilla, and berry profile of this lot reflects both the altitude, the heirloom variety complexity, and the precision of the washed process at this quality level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eThe 2025\/26 harvest designation confirms this is a fresh crop lot.

The practical difference in the roaster is more consistent development across the batch with fewer outlier beans. At the cup level, this Grade 1 scored SCA 85 with a flavour profile of floral, jasmine, vanilla, and berry — richer and more complex than the Grade 2 Sidama washed jasmine and peach profile. The Grade 1 is the premium choice for specialty single origin programs where cup score and flavour complexity justify the price difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eWhat does a high cupping score of SCA 85 mean for this lot?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eThe Specialty Coffee Association scores green coffee on a 100-point scale. Any score above 80 qualifies as specialty. Scores above 84 are classified as excellent — a tier reached by fewer than five percent of all traded green coffees globally. At SCA 85 this Sidama G1 sits firmly in that excellent category, confirming verified exceptional cup quality across all tasted samples. For home roasters and commercial roasteries, the score provides a reliable benchmark that this green coffee will perform at a consistently high level across medium, medium-dark, and dark roast profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eWhat brewing method works best after roasting this green coffee?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;\"\u003eThis lot excels as an espresso roast — the floral and vanilla character at medium-dark and dark development transitions into caramel depth and a lingering sweet finish that holds up well under pressure and performs strongly with steamed milk. Medium roast also works well for filter brewing through pour-over and drip, where the jasmine and berry character comes through cleanly. Allow the brewed cup to cool slightly before evaluating at medium roast as the complexity develops further as temperature drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0 0.25rem;\"\u003eHow should I store this green coffee?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. Green coffee is stable for 12 to 18 months in correct storage conditions. We ship all our green coffee in 9 layer hermetic Ecotact bags to preserve moisture content and the aromatic character of this lot between roasting sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"United Beans","offers":[{"title":"1 LB - $18.29 per LB","offer_id":52619161239835,"sku":null,"price":18.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 LB -$17.38 per LB | save 5%","offer_id":52619161272603,"sku":null,"price":43.44,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 LB - $15.55 per LB | save 15%","offer_id":52619161305371,"sku":null,"price":155.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 LB -$12.8 per LB | save 30%","offer_id":52619161338139,"sku":null,"price":192.07,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 LB - $11.89 per LB | save 35%","offer_id":52619161370907,"sku":null,"price":356.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Larger order | contact hello@unitedbeans.ca","offer_id":52619161403675,"sku":null,"price":11.89,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/2403\/1515\/files\/Ethiopian_Green_Coffee_Washed_Sidama_Grade_1_Ethiopia.png?v=1784333560","url":"https:\/\/unitedbeans.ca\/products\/ethiopia-sidama-g1-washed-green-coffee-beans","provider":"United Beans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
