About This Coffee and Producer

Alo Coffee was founded by Tamiru Tadesse, a former university teacher and electrical engineer, alongside his wife Messi, with a mission to showcase Ethiopia’s finest coffees on the world stage. After witnessing years of undervalued labor and quality overlooked in the coffee industry, Tamiru was inspired in 2020 by Ethiopia’s first-ever Cup of Excellence competition. By 2021, Alo Coffee’s very first submission—a meticulously processed lot from the village of Alo in Bensa—won Ethiopia’s CoE, proving that dedication and precision could elevate coffee to international acclaim.

This lot comes from Worku Station, one of Alo Coffee’s ultra-high-altitude stations in West Arsi Nensebo. The team implemented a clean, confident natural process that highlights both the terroir and their commitment to quality.

Why Moonwake Selected This Coffee

We’re excited to feature our first lot from Worku Station. This natural landrace coffee carries the signature hallmarks of Alo Coffee: bright red raspberry notes and a creamy, satisfying body.

What sets this lot apart are the sweet peach notes up front, adding a soft, layered complexity. As the coffee cools, delicate muscat grape flavors emerge alongside effervescent florals, keeping the profile ripe, vibrant, and fruit-forward.

A thoughtful expression of place and process, this coffee offers a fresh perspective from Alo Coffee’s Worku Station—a clean, elegant, and joyfully expressive natural from Ethiopia.
