ETHIOPIA, ALO

Warm days, cool nights, and the incredible tenacity of producer Tamiru Tadesse went into the production of this 74158 JARC coffee from Alo washing station. Having persevered to cultivate coffee and install a wet mill in a part of Sidama once considered impossible, Tamiru went on to win the Cup of Excellence – Ethiopia in 2021. Picked when the cherries were at their sweetest, this lot was sorted, pulped, anaerobically fermented (84–96 hours), double washed, and shade-dried for 10–20 days. All of which contribute to the cup’s unique juniper notes and refined character.
