ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER
This coffee was grown by Gabite Gaba and processed by Tamiru Tadesse in Alo Coffee’s newest controlled dark room environments. The dark room drying process (DRD) used by Tamiru involves careful control over the temperature, humidity, and airflow to produce slow and even drying. This lot was first mechanically depulped so that only a thin layer of pulp remained on the parchment. The coffee was then immediately placed in the Alo Coffee dark room and dried to preserve its innate delicate qualities.
WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE
Alo's coffees have been on an incredible run, and the lots coming out of this year's harvest have been particularly exciting. This release is another opportunity to explore their work, highlighting the coffees coming out of their new exciting advanced dark room facility.
The cup opens with a distinct tropical lychee acidity, followed by sweet honeydew that rounds out the fruit and gives the coffee a juicy, balanced sweetness. As it cools, well-defined orange blossom florals begin to emerge, adding an aromatic quality that carries through the finish.
We're especially interested in what Alo is developing with the new dark room facility. This lot offers a good look at how careful drying can preserve and further define the qualities of Ethiopian terroir, allowing the fruit and florals to remain remarkably clear throughout the cup. Don’t miss this incredible lot.
