Elto Bare
Producer Profile
Elto Coffee is a venture from Eliyas Dukamo and Atiklit Dejene. Both are very well known in the world of Ethiopian specialty coffee. Eliyas being from the Dukamo family that founded Daye Bensa, while Atiklit came to prominence doing QC for Gesha Village. Elto operates two drying stations—one in Bona, one in Arbegona-where they strive to produce high quality and competition grade microlots. The name "Elto" actually has two meanings in Sida, the first being "abundance," while the second is "more than passion." This traditional natural is one of two Elto lots we purchased this year, and is traceable to the outgrowing producers of Bare station in Arbegona.
Brewing Elto Bare
Recommended Use: FILTER
Where to Grind: Start at a coarse setting within our recommended grind range*
*Refer to our Grind & Brew Guide for recipes and grind setting ranges tailored to specific grinders and brewers.
For best results we recommend resting your filter coffee for two to three weeks post-roast before brewing.
Sidama
Arbegona Woreda is part of the famous Sidama zone, where many of our favourite Ethiopian coffees are grown. Coffee is the main cash crop in Arbegona, where it benefits from very high altitudes and a favourable micro-climate.
74158 & Local Landraces
74158 is one of six selections that were approved for release in 1974 as part of a CBD-resistance (Coffee Berry Disease) selection program. During the 1970's, researchers from the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre searched the forests in the Illuababora zone for CBD-resistant mother trees. Today 74158 is heavily propagated in South Western Ethiopia, and is one of two dominant varieties in Bensa, along with 74112.
