The coffee growing regions of Sidamo lie in the famous Great Rift Valley that runs through Ethiopia and Kenya. The countryside is generally lush and green. Though mostly rural, this part of Ethiopia is very densely populated nonetheless. Several large fresh-water lakes dot the terrain, running in a long chain through the valley where most of the coffee grows.
