This Ethiopia Idido Anaerobic Natural is a complex and powerful coffee from the Yirgacheffe region. Grown at altitudes between 1850 and 2200 meters, the cherries undergo a 90-hour anaerobic fermentation process before being shade-dried on raised screens. This unique processing results in a heavy, syrupy mouthfeel and a vibrant flavor profile featuring notes of lavender, lemon zest, jasmine, ginger, green tea, berries, and citrus. It is well-suited for pour-over brewing and cold brew.
