What Boréal Coffee says about this coffee
Shilicho is a signature terroir coffee from southern Ethiopia, grown in the mountainous region of Sidama. Cultivated organically by a cooperative of dedicated smallholder farmers, this washed lot highlights the finesse and aromatic freshness typical of Ethiopian coffees.
The heirloom Arabica varieties used here reveal an elegant, floral, and delicate profile. In the cup, expect a light and silky texture, bright acidity, and a long, lingering finish reminiscent of black tea. Dominant notes include bergamot, white flowers, and black tea, resulting in a subtle, refined cup full of vibrancy.
Perfect as a filter coffee for its complex aromatic expression, it also surprises pleasantly as an espresso with its citrusy freshness and lightness.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
