FROM THE ROASTER
ALO COFFEE WAS FOUNDED IN BENSA, SIDAMA, BY TAMIRU TADESSE AND HIS WIFE MESSI. IN 2021, THEIR VERY FIRST LOT FROM THE VILLAGE OF ALO WON ETHIOPIA'S CUP OF EXCELLENCE, A HISTORIC VICTORY THAT PROVED WHAT PASSION AND PRECISION COULD ACHIEVE. THROUGH PRECISE AND INNOVATIVE PROCESSING, ALO CONTINUES TO REVEAL THE EXTRAORDINARY POTENTIAL OF ETHIOPIAN COFFEE.
