Datura - Alo Coffee Dark Room Washed & Dark Room Natural 2x25g

The washed one offers a bright and refreshing cup, led by citrus notes and refined florality. As it cools, a subtle buttery aspect may develop, adding depth and structure, before leading into a finish of lemongrass and delicate citrus zest.

The natural one leans more towards a tropical and jammy expression, with a round body and a beautifully layered profile. It is dynamic and well-defined, as the process expresses itself more clearly, bringing multiple layers and a sweeter aspect, while still remaining fresh and juicy as it cools.

Alo Coffee was founded in Bensa, Sidama, by Tamiru Tadesse and his wife Messi. Driven by the belief that great coffee should never be overlooked, they set out to challenge a system that undervalued both quality and the farmers behind it.

In 2021, their very first lot from the village of Alo won Ethiopia’s Cup of Excellence. A historic victory that proved what passion and precision could achieve, and opened new possibilities for an entire community of growers.

Today, Alo Coffee carries that same energy forward. With farmers at the center, a focus on meticulous processing, and a deep respect for Sidama’s terroirs, Alo Coffee is not only showcasing some of Ethiopia’s most exciting coffees, it is reshaping what Ethiopian coffee can mean to the world. Through precise and innovative processing, they continue to push boundaries and reveal the extraordinary potential of Ethiopian coffee.
