Ethiopia Alo Mosto Anaerobic Natural

Highlights

“Tanat brought Tamiru Tadesse's Alo coffees to Europe for the first time in 2024, and this lot is one of the reason they keep buying: perfectly ripe cherries are hand-selected and put into hermetic tanks with mosto for a 96-hour anaerobic fermentation. That slow, sealed ferment builds the aromatics — pineapple, lacto-fermented strawberry and coconut — without losing clarity. Tamiru, a former university teacher and electrical engineer, founded Alo Coffee with his wife Messi; their first-ever Cup of Excellence entry, a lot from their home village of Alo in Bensa, won Ethiopia's 2021 competition. Variety JARC 74158, 2026 harvest, 88 points, roasted for filter, 200 g at €23.90.”
