1 lb Ethiopia Idido Misty Valley

Yirgacheffe Region, Ethiopia  |  Natural Process  |  Grade 1  |  Bagersh Family Farm

Some coffees are interesting. This one is alive.

The Idido Misty Valley comes from the Yirgacheffe highlands of southern Ethiopia. The birthplace of coffee itself. Where the Bagersh family has been cultivating and exporting exceptional beans for generations. Abdullah Bagersh's processing station in Idido is where this coffee is born: hand-selected cherries laid on raised drying beds, turned every 48 hours, dried slowly in the misty highland air until the fruit has given everything it has to the bean inside.

The result is a natural process coffee unlike anything you've tasted. Wild, fruit-forward, and startlingly clean.

Tasting Notes

Strawberry  |  Stone Fruit  |  Floral Black Tea  |  Hibiscus Finish

The cup opens with a burst of ripe strawberry. Not jam, not candy, but the real thing. Stone fruit follows, with a long floral finish of black tea and hibiscus that lingers well past the last sip. This is what Ethiopia does that nowhere else on Earth can replicate.

The Bagersh Family & Misty Valley

The Bagersh family has been in Ethiopian coffee for generations, building their reputation as some of the most meticulous exporters in the country. Abdullah Bagersh owns processing facilities in Idido, Beloya, and Michile. And at each one, he has spent decades perfecting the natural process at altitude, eliminating the defects (over-fermentation, sourness) that gave naturals a bad reputation and replacing them with the clarity and vibrancy that defines this cup.

The "Misty Valley" name is earned: at elevation, the cherries dry slowly in cool, humid air. Building complexity without the chaos. This is Grade 1, Yirgacheffe. The top of the mountain.

Brew Recommendations

• Pour-over (V60 / Chemex): Best method to highlight the floral and fruit notes. Let it bloom 45 seconds before pouring.
• French Press: Amplifies the body and stone fruit sweetness.
• Cold Brew: The strawberry notes intensify beautifully over 18 hours.
