Grown by Girma Tamiru in the renowned Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, this exceptional Idido Natural coffee reflects generations of dedication and craftsmanship. Situated at 2,170 meters above sea level, the 2.5-hectare farm cultivates Heirloom coffee varieties under the shade of false banana trees, using organic farming practices without certification due to high costs.

This meticulous process enhances the coffee's signature intense, juicy flavor profile while preserving the distinctive qualities of Ethiopia's celebrated terroir.

Beyond its exceptional cup quality, this coffee represents a commitment to sustainable agriculture, responsible farming methods, and the livelihoods of Ethiopia's coffee-growing communities, making every cup both flavorful and meaningful.
