From the producer

Nearly 2,000 cooperative members typically farm about 1.5 hectares around their homes. Coffee is the main cash crop, while fruits, vegetables and beans support household food needs.

From the roaster

Counter Culture highlights this coffee for its delicate floral notes and complex flavor profile, noting it as one of their most remarkable annual offerings.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Idido is Counter Culture's longest-running East African partnership. The current release documents nearly 2,000 cooperative members, a 1,900 to 2,400 meter growing range, seven named cultivar groups, washed processing and the 2025 to 2026 harvest.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Cooperative collection

Coffee comes from nearly 2,000 Idido cooperative members farming high-elevation home plots around Yirgacheffe.

02
Washed processing

Counter Culture identifies the current release as washed. Fermentation timing and the exact drying schedule are not published for this crop.

What was added?

No flavoring agents are added.

What wasn't added?

The official page does not disclose crop-specific fermentation timing or drying duration.

Why it matters

The cooperative and crop details establish traceability without pretending that every post-harvest step is known.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists floral, melon and citrus in a light-roast cup.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

Same coffee, different roaster?

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.
