✨ About Alo
Alo refers to Alo Village, located in Bensa, Sidama. This highland region, sitting at elevations above 2,400 meters, is blessed with fertile soil and abundant rainfall. These natural conditions allow coffee cherries to mature slowly, developing higher sugar content and greater depth of flavor. In recent years, Alo has gained recognition worldwide for producing exceptional coffees. Thanks to Tamiru’s dedication, coffees from Alo stand out with a refined elegance and long-lasting sweetness that specialty coffee enthusiasts deeply appreciate.

Acidity explanation:
When customers ask us to recommend beans, the number one question is about flavor, and the number two is “Is this acidic?”
First of all, the feeling of the acidity varies from person to person. Once I met two guests. A said he would like to drink acid coffee, while B said he would not drink acid coffee. So I made a Natural Yirgacheffe Blue Donkey for them. A said that it was too acidic, and B said that it was okay. It is clear that there are individual differences in the sensitivity of acidity.
Since there are individual differences, is there any criterion for reference?
We generally use several fruits to make the evaluation from the least acidic to the most acidic. From 1~5 is strawberry jam, grapes, apples, oranges, lemons. So that the scores of relative acidity can help the consumers with a reference in purchasing.
