ALO Coffee HSF3 Anaerobic Natural is an intensely expressive coffee, driven by layered tropical fruit, ripe strawberry, and lifted jasmine florals. A deep, fermented sweetness runs through the cup, giving it a rich, almost syrupy character while maintaining clarity and structure.
This lot is processed using an anaerobic natural method, where whole cherries are sealed in low-oxygen environments to ferment before drying. In many ALO coffees, this resulting in heightened fruit intensity, complexity, and aromatic depth. Once the cherries reach the ideal moisture level of 11–11.5%, they are sealed in GrainPro bags to preserve and enhance aromatic development, then stored in traditional jute bags. The dried cherries are rested for a minimum of 45 days before dry milling to allow the flavor profile to fully rest.
About the Farm & Producer
ALO Coffee is led by Tamiru Tadesse in Bensa, Sidama, Ethiopia, a producer known for pushing processing innovation at the highest level. Originally an electrical engineer and university lecturer, Tamiru entered coffee with a clear intention: to prove that Ethiopian coffees, when handled with precision, could compete globally on quality and distinction.
Working at elevations reaching 2,400–2,500 meters, ALO’s coffees benefit from slow cherry maturation and dense bean structure. Their focus on experimental processing—particularly anaerobic methods—has made them one of the most progressive producers in Ethiopia, consistently delivering coffees with striking intensity and clarity.
