Alo Special Hybrid Washed

About This Coffee

Tamiru Tadesse is a coffee supplier who has been in the coffee business for the last eight years. He works with about 200 farmers in Delo Kebele, Bensa zone of the Sidama region. He collects about 182,000 kilograms of red cherry from an estimated 80 hectares of land owned by the farmers. Tamiru processes anaerobic and natural coffee which is dried on a raised bed with mesh wire. He then sells his coffee on the international market, mostly in China. However, he says, he was interested to have new market destinations and promote the unique flavours of Bensa coffee. This particular lot is from his own washing station, Alo, grown and managed by Tuke, which is sitting around 2400m above sea level, a very high altitude for coffee! It has a unique processing - separate from the Classic Washed. He starts with a fermentation in cherry for 24 hours, then depulping, and fermenting for another 24 hours in mucilage before washing and drying on raised beds. This unique fermentation and processing elevates all attributes of this lot - turning classic into extraordinary - elevating florals, fruits, sweetness, and mouthfeel! All this results with an excellent coffee, with such high quality from the terroir, growing conditions, and excellent processing. This lot sits in the spectrum of the cleanest washed coffees - but offering even more - more sweet peach notes, cleaner jasmine, and livelier acidity.  Grab it right now on our website!
