Ethiopian Precision
In 2020, Ethiopia held its first Cup of Excellence. This groundbreaking event established a new level of transparency and opportunity for producers to receive well-deserved recognition. In 2021, Alo submitted its first lot, a coffee from Tamiru’s home village. It took first place. That wasn’t by luck of the draw; it was validation. Do the work. Trust the process. Let the coffee speak.
Tamiru natural Notes
A natural that it uniquely clean and complex. The drying is deliberate and functions harmoniously with the elements. The quality control is rigorous, not just aspirational. Nothing about this coffee is accidental. Every step is evaluated by one question: Does this make the cup better? Notes of 'Super Rope' dominates the cup, blackberry, sugar Cane, agave, and a feral feeling.
