About:
February 2023. Wilson and I touch down in Ethiopia with one mission: secure five tonnes of micro lots.
Four days of heat and dust. Jungle huts. Fourteen-hour drives. Then—Alo Coffee’s drying station. Quality you can feel: perfectly picked cherries; honeys and naturals drying on raised African beds with views for days. Check our Insta highlights—you’ll see it. No wonder Tamiru and his wife, Messi, won the 2021 Ethiopia Cup of Excellence.
Back in Addis, the cupping gauntlet: hundreds of samples, mostly misses—until Tamiru’s HQ. We roast. We cup. Fireworks. This is the one… and it’s already sold out.
Two years later, we finally secured a lot from Tamiru. You’re tasting it now—roasted by us, on bar and in bags. Enjoy.

It began as a dream and a leap of faith. In 2020, Ethiopia’s first Cup of Excellence competition revealed that exceptional coffee could be celebrated. Inspired, Tamiru and his wife, Messi, launched Alo Coffee to showcase Sidama’s finest. Before then, Tamiru, a former university teacher and engineer, having witnessed the struggles of undervalued farmers and the frustrations of unfair pricing was hesitant to start his own venture. In 2021, their first lot from Bensa’s Alo village won the national Cup Of Excellence. Today, Alo Coffee champions quality, uplifts farmers, and shares Ethiopia’s rich coffee heritage with the world.
