Idido

The coffees we purchase from the Idido cooperative are simply remarkable. They’re among the highest-quality offerings we buy each year, and come from our longest-running partnership in East Africa. Idido’s members reside in some of Ethiopia's highest-elevation coffee-growing areas. This terroir is renowned for producing highly aromatic, complex coffee flavors. We taste delicate floral notes alongside flavors of melon and citrus.

Sourced from the Idido cooperative, this selection highlights the distinct profile often associated with the Ethiopia Sidamo region. Coffees from this area are frequently celebrated for their delicate complexity, often showcasing bright, aromatic qualities that distinguish them from other origins. When evaluating these nuanced profiles, many enthusiasts find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the specific characteristics present in the cup.

In this particular offering from Counter Culture Coffee, the profile is defined by floral, melon, and citrus notes. While general expectations for Ethiopian coffees often lean toward tea-like clarity or vibrant acidity, this lot provides a focused expression of those regional traits. By balancing these bright, fruit-forward elements with subtle floral aromatics, the Idido cooperative continues to demonstrate the unique potential of their local harvest, offering a refined experience that reflects the traditional processing methods of the region.
