This is an incredibly unique coffee coming from Tanat (Paris, France) and producer Tamiru Tadesse of ALO. The goal here is to eliminate fermentation in the cup where cherries are depulped and washed immediately without any fermentation in tanks or bags. The result is an effervescent and clean coffee with incredible articulation of acidity. We find white tea, stone fruits in the form of cherry, and a structured tropical/lemon-like acidity. Let this one cool before tasting!

For best results, we suggest you rest this coffee for at least 3+ weeks! 

FROM TANAT: 

Behind this Zero Fermentation Washed, Alo seeks to eliminate a step that has become almost indispensable in modern washed wines: fermentation. The ripe cherries are sorted, pulped, and then washed immediately, without any time spent in tanks. The objective, simple in appearance, is very demanding in practice; it's essential to prevent fermentation from shaping the aromatic profile and to allow the variety and terroir to express themselves with as little interference as possible.

The cup opens with an airy texture, revealing an initial note of white tea on the palate. This is followed by cherry, fresh and tangy, almost jammy. As you sip, the acidity becomes more precise, evoking a lemon candy. A transparent, delicate, and precise coffee.
