Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Idido (Washed)

TASTES LIKE: WATERMELON - FRUIT JUICE - BERGAMOT

From the importer:

The Idido Washing Station, located in the Idido village, or kebele, and operated by Ardent Coffee Exporter, serves the villages surrounding Yirgacheffe town, including Idido, Aricha, Worka, Chelbesa, and Halabariti. 1200 farmers regularly deliver cherry throughout the November-January harvest season.

The Malebo Project is a coffee line by Idido Washing Station, exclusive to Cafe Imports, where Grade 1 seeds from the Idido area were specifically selected and washed. This was Idido’s only washed coffee this season. The coffee was hand-sorted throughout the entire 18-day drying process and then rested for four weeks before milling, once the seeds had reached a consistent moisture content of 11.2%.

This washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe makes for a lively, satisfying filter coffee. The Idido brings a big pop of tropical fruit juice acidity, leading into a body of watermelon and tropical fruit. This coffee sports bergamot florals on the nose.
