The distinct flavor profile is achieved through sun-drying ripe cherries on raised beds. This process yields a cup with a delightful fruit-flavored/red wine taste, intricate sweetness, and indulgent cocoa richness.

One of the reason Mrs. Tigest Wako's coffees stand out is due to the farm location. Mrs. Wako’s farm is located in Idedo within the Gedeo zone. This zone is home to the Yirgacheffe town and the Yirgacheffe coffee type. Idedo is one of the two localities that produce the top Yirgacheffe-type coffees. Mrs. Wako is one of the few female landowners in her locality. In the Gedeo’s tradition (an ethnic group she is from), land inheritance usually goes to male children. Also, the Gedeo zone is one of Africa's most densely populated areas with average farmland ranging around a hectare. Her 7.6 hectares farm makes her one of the few farmers with that size of farm. 

As a woman farm owner, she faces challenges in managing daily operations and handling the bureaucratic side of the business. She is a strong, respectable woman and is fortunate to have the support of her husband and family.
