Anaerobic fermentation experiments are still relatively uncommon in Ethiopia, and this coffee reflects some of the latest exploration in that direction. Rather than dramatically changing the character of the coffee, the process adds dimension and turns up the volume on the fruit qualities. The first impression is direct and vibrant—fresh grape and cherry come through immediately. As it opens up, a candied date sweetness develops, lingering and almost confectionary. The finish brings everything together with a jammy, earthy wine quality reminiscent of Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTamiru Tadesse operates Alo Coffee, a specialty coffee processing project in Sidama, Ethiopia.
