Coffee Description
Fruit is the star of the show here—tart, sugary strawberry, and syrupy blueberry with coffee flowers and lemon candy moving into flavors of citrus, florals, and sweet herbs. Velvety in body with a bright yet delicate acidity, cocoa shows up in the lingering aftertaste.

About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
Idido Cooperative, named after the nearby village, is highly regarded in the world of Ethiopian coffee. Established in the late 70s and joining ranks with the Yirgacheffe Farmer’s Union in 2002, it is now 1,044 members strong. These farmers were among the first in the world to craft meticulously prepared natural processed coffees under the name “Idido Misty Valley.”
Because the Idido Cooperative is sanctioned by the Ethiopian government, it legally bypasses the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange. This allows them to avoid the generic regional labeling “Yirgacheffe,” and gives much greater traceability to their coffees. Idido members also benefit from the direct relationship, receiving assistance with processing techniques, facilities, and stations. Though the life of a coffee producer is not as simple in reality as on paper, this traceability helps them receive more for their coffees than via the ECX and, ultimately gives them and their families a chance for a better quality of life.
