This coffee is a single-origin selection from the Alo Safo station in Bensa, Sidama, Ethiopia. Grown at an altitude of 2380-2600 meters, it consists of the 74158 variety. The coffee undergoes a 24-hour cold spring water anaerobic natural process, where cherries are fermented in tanks before being shade-dried on raised beds for over 30 days. This meticulous process results in a unique specialty coffee produced by Tamiru Tadesse and Messi.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
