This Ethiopia Idido coffee is sourced from the Aricha and Yirgacheffe regions. It is a blend of Kurume, Daga, and Wolisho varieties, processed using a washed method where the coffee is mechanically depulped and fermented in tanks for 48-72 hours before being dried on raised beds. The flavor profile features notes of tropical fruits, orange, and Earl Grey. The producers intercrop their coffee with native trees to provide shade and fertilization for their fields.
With roots in both Chicago and Istanbul, Four Letter Word was founded by a team with a background in design and a deep love for coffee's communal power. Their approach is minimalist and quality-driven, focusing on building strong, direct relationships with a select few producers each year. They roast with the intention of showcasing the pure, unadulterated flavor of the bean, letting the coffee speak for itself.
