ethiopia + colombia coffee
by ief&ido coffee roasting shop/bar · the hague, netherlands
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is colombia yirgacheffe, a natural ethiopia + colombia from ief&ido coffee roasting shop/bar.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest alongside jasmine and broader floral notes, then moves into a black tea, tea-like quality with a caramel finish. the natural process gives it fruit-forward brightness that the light roast keeps clean and defined.
it comes from the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia and is processed naturally, meaning the coffee cherries dry whole before milling, which draws extra fruit and floral character into the cup.
as a light roast with delicate citrus and tea-like qualities, it responds well to pour-over or filter methods that use lower water temperatures, around 90-93°c, to avoid sharpness and let the floral and fruit notes develop without bitterness.
...which brings us to ief&ido, where the dutch approach to coffee gets serious without the sermon. you'll find this roastery tucked along prinsestraat, and the regulars here aren't just loyal by accident. they roast their own beans with the kind of attention that makes other shops look careless. the space feels lived-in rather than designed, and that's exactly why it works. this isn't about impressing tourists or chasing trends. it's about doing coffee right, day after day, until people start rearranging their routes through den haag just to stop by. the kind of place where ordering your usual becomes second nature, where the afternoon cortado hits exactly how you need it to.
