The Idido coffee mill is located in the Gedeo zone of Ethiopia, not far from the town of Yirgacheffe. Smallholder coffee farmers deliver ripe cherries to the Idido mill where they’re sorted, dried in raised beds, and processed for further sale. Drying is done slowly, with frequent turning to make sure that cherries are dried evenly throughout the lot. Parchment is transported from Idido to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, for final milling and bagging just before the coffee is exported.
