Aduoda Cooperative is located in the Guido producing area (Gedeo Zone) on the southeastern plateau of Ethiopia, south of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. The people of Guido (commonly known as Darasa) are considered to be a very different group in culture and language, bordering Sidama to the east, Alaba to the north, Burji to the west, and Guji to the south. These people belong to the East Cushitic language family, and traditionally take the upstream cliffs of the Sidamo northern rift graben as the main active area. Today, Guido is one of the most densely populated areas in Ethiopia, with residents mainly settled in the two larger towns of Bule and Dila, with Gedeo as the main ethnic group.

The Yega Coffee Coffee small Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU), which began in 2002, represents 24 junior cooperatives with more than 50, 000 farmers, of which the Aduoto Cooperative, with 1177 members, is part of it. Located in the verdant mountains, the coffee farms of the members are distributed between 2000 and 2400 meters above sea level. Coffee and enset (a banana-like crop, mountain banana) are traditionally cultivated in the Gedeo area, keeping the soil fertile and providing a good shade for coffee trees.

In 2006, the Adoduo Cooperative fell into a crisis of abolishment because it did not have any operational equipment to produce coffee. In 2007, a new ecological peel peeling machine (Eco depulper) was built for 25 small farmers to produce small amounts of coffee. The membership continued to grow over the next three years, and new equipment and infrastructure such as washing treatment stations, sun scaffolding and so on slowly increased. And through educating local farmers on sustainable development of farming methods and loans and farmers' financial assistance to establish a close relationship between cooperatives and farmers. This aid project has successfully made the Adoduo Cooperative a model for providing stable quality tanning and washing Ethiopian coffee.

Flavor introduction: the moment this bean opened the bag, it was as if a blueberry bomb exploded, bringing out tropical fruit flavors such as dried pineapple. This coffee has a strong aroma of blueberry and strawberry, with the smell of honey, ripe grape, peach, citrus and so on. With the change of temperature and the lower the temperature, the aroma of fermented blueberry wine becomes more and more obvious. Blueberry wine changes to strawberry wine with a slight brown sugar aroma.
