Why some details are blank
  • altitude mVerve’s exact page conflicts internally: the narrative says 1,960–2,090 meters and the specification card says 1,900–2,200 meters, so no midpoint or scalar was invented.
  • harvest dateThe exact archive does not publish a harvest or crop date for this release.
  • fermentation durationVerve confirms fermentation after pulping but does not publish its duration.
  • drying durationVerve confirms slow raised-bed drying but does not publish its duration.
  • individual contributorsVerve attributes the lot to various smallholders but does not name individual contributing farmers.

From the producer

Smallholder families around Idido grow coffee on steep, high-elevation plots, often intercropped with false banana and other native plants. Verve says the washing station also distributes organic compost to participating farmers.

From the roaster

Verve describes a bright, balanced cup with juicy blackberry, a silky sweet-cream texture, and a gentle pine finish that stays engaging as it cools.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Idido pairs a clearly identified Yirgacheffe washing station and smallholder community with a traditional washed sequence and slow raised-bed drying. Verve publishes two different elevation ranges for the release, so no single midpoint is presented as fact.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Cherry delivery and sorting

Smallholders deliver ripe cherry to the Idido washing station for careful sorting.

02
Pulping and fermentation

The sorted cherry is pulped and fermented. Verve does not publish the fermentation duration.

03
Raised-bed drying

The washed parchment is dried slowly on raised beds.

What was added?

No added flavoring or co-fermentation ingredient is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The product page does not identify inoculated cultures, fruit additions, or post-roast flavoring.

Why it matters

The traditional washed sequence favors clarity and a clean separation between berry-like sweetness, creamy texture, and the pine finish.

What you might taste

Blackberry, pine, and sweet cream.

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.
