From SEPTEMBER
This is our second year working with Elto coffee. The name Elto has two meanings in Sidama: “abundance” and “more than passion,” reflecting both their ambition and ethos. This is a complex, juicy and sweet coffee reminding us of nectarine, dried apricot, and fresh berries.
In the cup
In the cup we get juicy citrus reminiscent of nectarines and sweet stone fruit that reminds us of dried apricots. We also taste juicy berries reminiscent of blackberries and raspberries. This coffee has a light body and a sweet finish.
About The Producer
Eliyas Dukamo and Atiklit “Mimi” Dejene launched Elto with a focus on precision and innovation. Their emphasis is on producing high-quality and competition-grade microlots through industry best practices, pushing Ethiopian specialty coffee toward ever-higher standards. The name Elto has two meanings in Sidama: “abundance” and “more than passion,” reflecting both their ambition and ethos.
Processing
The coffee cherry is handpicked, sorted, floated and pulped with care at every stage of processing. Unlike our previous Elto lot, this JARC 74158 is naturally processed, meaning the mucilage of the cherry and its natural sugars remain on the seed prior to the drying phase. This natural process results in a deeply sweet and stone-fruit forward coffee.
Variety
The Jimma Agricultural Research Centre (JARC), one of Ethiopia’s federal agricultural research centers, approved the release of 74158 in 1979. The variety originally came out of the Metu Bishari Selections taken from mother plants from the Metu woreda (district) of the Illuababora zone. 74158 was selected and propagated for its high yield potential and resistance to coffee berry disease.
