Context
Flat Track's Ethiopia Alo Sidamo represents a natural-process lot from the Sidama region, where the Alo Cooperative brings fruit-forward character to the cup. The varietal 74185 grows at 2180–2300 masl in conditions that support the bright, juicy profile typical of naturals from this origin. Natural-processed coffees tend to emphasize fruit complexity, and this lot expresses that tendency through lemon zest, raspberry, and plum—a layered sweetness that rewards both filter and espresso brewing.
