Ethiopia Alo Coffee Mossto Anaerobic Filter - Single Origin.

Alo Coffee is owned and operated by Tamiru Tadesse who won 1st place in the 2021 Ethiopian Cup of Excellence. This is a nano lot from his farm in Sidama, Bensa.

In 2020 Tamiru invested in a washing station located in Alo Kebele, an unprecedented risk due to its high elevation above 2400m. Not only does he own his own land, but works with surrounding local farmers in an effort to connect the world coffee market, and further highlight the incredible quality of his home country.

Beyond traditional processes, Tamiru has experimented with many specialised processes which have propelled him to the forefront of specialty coffee in Ethiopia. His coffees have debuted in competitions, on the world stage, and is recognised by many as some of finest coffee that Ethiopia has to offer.

This is a ‘Mossto’ processed anaerobic lot. Mossto is made from crushed coffee cherries; a byproduct of depulping. It is a juice rich with sugars and enzymes utilised via reintroduction during the cherry fermentation cycle; to add intensity and depth to the coffees’ flavour profile. This is a multi-staged and highly controlled process which requires much expertise and understanding in fermentation science to achieve quality, repeatable results.
