About this lot:

This coffee from the Idido station is a masterclass in complexity. We chose it for its elegant, dessert-like composition. Imagine a rich dark chocolate base, topped with a creamy blueberry yogurt, fresh strawberry, and garnished with delicate floral notes. A truly sophisticated treat.

About origin:

This exceptional coffee from Idido, Yirgacheffe, is more than just a beautiful cup; it’s the product of the Ama Project, an initiative founded in 2023 with a powerful mission: to support and empower women farmers and their communities.

​At the heart of this specific lot is producer Amarech Ararso, whose name fittingly means “she became beautiful.” From her farm and processing station in Hada, Amarech is a cornerstone of the project. She cultivates her own coffee on 2 hectares of high-altitude land at 2050 meters and also sources cherries from other local women, serving as a vital hub for the community.
​The quality begins in the soil, with meticulous organic practices. The coffee is shade-grown under false banana trees and carefully handpicked at peak ripeness. The unique character of this coffee is then developed through a patient and intentional process: a seven-day fermentation in sealed barrels, followed by a slow drying period of 15-20 days that allows for deep and complex flavors to emerge.

​Every purchase of this green coffee directly supports the Ama Project’s vision of fostering gender equity. Through income diversification schemes and community support, the project provides women with the training, finance, and equipment needed to build sustainable livelihoods. This coffee is a story of resilience, community, and the beauty that blossoms when women are empowered.
