This is our first 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 bright coffee reminding us of tangerine, lime and stone fruits with soft white florals. This Extra-light roast is delicate and aromatic and sacrifices intensity of acidity and perceived sweetness. We recommend this roast for ultra-light roast lovers only. Our light roast is already considerably light. In the cup we get juicy citrus reminiscent of tangerines & limes with delicate white florals, and stone fruit sweetness. This coffee has a light body and a clean finish. 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 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.
