This <strong>Ethiopia</strong>n <strong>Sidamo</strong> is produced in the Sidama province, which is<br />

part of the larger Oromia Kilil ethnic region (one of 9 ethnic regions<br />

in <strong>Ethiopia</strong>). Hence the export service provider for the <strong>Layo</strong> <strong>Teraga</strong><br />

<strong>Cooperative</strong> is the OCFCU. The Uraga Woreda is one of 180 woredas<br />

in the Oromia region and part of the Guji Zone. <strong>Layo</strong> <strong>Teraga</strong> is the<br />

washing station, or wet mill, where the coffee is processed. This coffee<br />

is listed by the coop as being produced in farms at an average altitude<br />

of 2,100m, which is quite impressive.<br />
