Nearly 2,000 Idido cooperative members grow coffee on home-garden plots averaging about 1.5 hectares around Yirgacheffe. Counter Culture identifies the cooperative's main processing site, not a single contributing farm.
Counter Culture Coffee is a B Corp certified roaster that emphasizes transparent trade and quality-focused sourcing, maintaining long-term relationships with producers like the Idido cooperative.
A single-origin Idido cooperative lot that was washed in Ethiopia and later decaffeinated by Swiss Water; the two stages are documented separately.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Counter Culture identifies the Idido lot as washed.
A portion of the lot was sent to Swiss Water in Vancouver, where water and carbon filtration removed caffeine while retaining other soluble flavor compounds.
No flavoring agents are added; Swiss Water uses water and carbon filtration.
The exact page does not publish fermentation duration, drying method, or individual variety percentages.
The origin process and the later decaffeination step are documented separately, avoiding the common mistake of treating “Swiss Water” as the farm-level coffee process.
Counter Culture lists apricot, citrus, and brown sugar.

Other roasters, same producer.
These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
