About Yirgacheffe
Ethiopia is widely recognised as the ‘birthplace’ of Coffea arabica. And of all
Ethiopian coffee growing regions Yirgacheffe is perhaps the most well-known
and recognised. There is a certain romanticism that exists in the traditional
bright, floral and complex qualities of Ethiopian coffees that so many of us
never tire of experiencing. Spanning a remarkable topographic rollercoaster,
the ECX Area of Yirgacheffe climbs from 1200 masl in the East of the Gedeo
Zone, up to 3200 masl in the West, with only 30km in between. This dramatic
expanse of height has led to a bio-diverse environment where native trees grow
at the altitude in which they benefit most, including the many wild mutations
of coffee varietals – this must be why the cup profiles of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe
coffees are just so unique.
About Idido
The more Ethiopian farms and washing stations Project Origin visited, the more we came to realise the signature Ethiopian look was a signature for a reason – they all possessed elements of the same things: rainbow colours across the land, rainbow of colours of the coffee cherries, multiples of rows of raised drying beds, and lush mountainous hills featuring hundreds of varieties of wild grown coffee trees. At the Idido washing station there are long stacks of raised drying beds made from bamboo, covered in plastic, mesh and wire to support the green beans as they dry in the sun. Hand woven baskets speckle the area and groups of people work their way around each bed, hand sorting and turning the coffee. Teams of 10-20 people each day come in from the local town to respond to a call for work during the harvest season from October – February.
