Processed at his main station, Safo, this lot is made up of cherries delivered from Faficho Village in Bensa, Sidama. Grown at an exceptional elevation of 2,390 MASL, the coffee was harvested between November 2025 and January 2026.\u003cbr\u003eThe cup is dense and beautifully structured, with notes of ripe watermelon, nectarine, and honeysuckle florals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlo began in the village of Alo Bensa, where Tamiru was born. Coffee has always been a part of his life, but it wasn't until later that he decided to make it his career. Today, he's focused on producing some of the best coffees in Ethiopia, pushing the boundaries of what's possible through innovative processing and drying techniques, as well as cultivating coffee at elevations reaching 2,700 MASL. We first connected with Tamiru a few years ago, when Alo was just getting started, and it's a joy to finally offer one of his coffees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherries are collected at peak ripeness, floated and depulped immediately with a Penagos pulper which removes both the cherry skin and mucilage. The seeds are then dried on raised beds in partial shade for 12 days.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ilse Coffee","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":67873291665510,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":67873291698278,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":67873291731046,"sku":null,"price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/2565\/1254\/files\/Alo.jpg?v=1793390581","url":"https:\/\/ilsecoffee.com\/products\/ethiopia-alo-faficho","provider":"ilse coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
