NOTES: Blueberry Pancakes, Mixed Berries, Honeysuckle
Alo Natural – Berry-Rich Sweetness
From the soaring elevations of Bensa in Sidama comes Alo Natural — a fruit-saturated natural process coffee bursting with the sweetness of blueberry pancakes, the vibrancy of mixed berries, and the delicate floral lift of honeysuckle. It’s juicy, expressive, and stunningly clean — a perfect example of high-elevation natural processing done right.
The Cup of Excellence Breakthrough
In 2021, Tamiru and his wife, Messi, submitted their very first lot from their home village of Alo. Against all odds, it didn’t just compete.
It won Ethiopia’s Cup of Excellence.
That victory proved that skill, precision, and belief can overcome entrenched systems — and that Sidama coffees deserve to stand among the world’s most celebrated.
Where Our Stories Met
At the 2025 SCA Expo in Houston, we met Tamiru Tadesse for the first time — and instantly felt a shared vision for what coffee can be. This release celebrates that connection: a partnership rooted in respect, curiosity, and the joy of discovering extraordinary coffees together.
The Process – Clean Natural Precision
✅ Selective Harvest – Only the ripest cherries picked at peak sweetness
✅ Natural Fermentation – Whole-cherry drying amplifies berry character
✅ Raised-Bed Drying – Slow, controlled drying maintains clarity and structure
✅ Resting Period – Stabilizes the cup, deepening sweetness and balance
A meticulous natural that preserves brightness while unlocking lush fruit depth.
About the Cup
This coffee is a full-on berry party in your cup. It opens with a mixed-berry aroma that feels like warm blueberry pancakes, and the first sip brings juicy berries and a touch of honeysuckle sweetness. The body stays balanced, the mouthfeel is bright and juicy, and the clean finish lets all those berry notes shine.
