Coffee information

Alo Coffee began with a big idea and a brave step forward. After years working in coffee as a university teacher and electrical engineer, Tamiru Tadesse saw firsthand how often quality and producer effort went unrewarded. Inspired by Ethiopia’s first Cup of Excellence in 2020, he and his wife, Messi, decided it was time to bet on excellence and build something of their own in their home village of Alo, in Bensa.

That belief paid off pretty fast. In 2021, Tamiru’s very first Cup of Excellence submission won Ethiopia’s top honour, a moment that confirmed what he already knew Sidama’s coffees could stand confidently among the world’s best. Alo Coffee quickly earned a reputation for meticulous processing and an unwavering commitment to pushing quality forward.
