Alo controlled honey - Ethiopia, Tanat | 200g

Ethiopia

Tasting note: Candied Lemon - Honey Flower - Black Tea

In 2024, we had the chance to bring back to Europe for the first time the coffees of producer Tamiru Tadesse. Thanks to its process expertise, each coffee bears its unique signature: complexity, clarity and fruitiness. This lot is a glaring example, with a cup structure that leaves us speechless.

The cherries, harvested at perfect maturity, are carefully pulped before undergoing a 48-hour dry fermentation, then 3-hour soaking in warm water, a rare method that accentuates the clarity and aromatic depth of the coffee. Drying is done slowly on shaded African beds, until an ideal humidity level of 11% is reached.

In a cup, this coffee is distinguished by a brilliant aromatic complexity: bright notes of candied lemon, a floral sweetness evoking the honey flower, and a subtle length in the mouth reminiscent of black tea. An elegant and bright cup, reflecting the artisanal know-how of Alo Coffee.
