Tasting Notes:Honey - Grapefruit - Passion Fruit

At the heart of the Elto Coffee project, fermentation serves as a key means of expressing the terroir. The fermentation protocol is designed to complement the Whole Beans, never to mask their identity. This Elora Blood Yeast lot is a perfect example of this.

The cherries undergo natural anaerobic fermentation for 72 hours in airtight tanks with selected yeasts to guide the fermentation process in a controlled manner, followed by a slow drying process that preserves the rich aromas developed during the process.

In the cup, the initial impression is smooth and enveloping. The honey adds a silky, floral sweetness. Very quickly, this silkiness gives way to grapefruit, infusing a vibrant freshness, with a slight bitterness that provides structure to the whole. Then comes the passion fruit, bright and juicy, lingering to deliver a well-integrated tropical acidity. Taken as a whole, the cup reveals a balance between intensity and clarity.

Our Elto Elora Blood Yeast perfectly illustrates the evolution of modern fermentation techniques in Ethiopia. Technology does not replace the Ethiopian terroir; rather, it enriches its expressive range.

Elto Coffee

Elto Coffee is the result of the passion of Eliyas Dukamo and Atiklit Dejene, a couple living in Sidama Bensa.

Elto Coffee stands out for its production of carefully selected nano-batches, showcasing the richness of Ethiopian terroirs through coffees with complex flavor profiles.

Committed to ethical and sustainable practices, Elto works closely with small local producers, emphasizing traceability, quality, and innovative processing methods (washed, natural, honey, anaerobic).

This approach, rooted in ethics and respect for the land, has led us to work directly with Eliyas and Atiklit and to import their batches each year so that we can offer you unique micro-lots while actively supporting Ethiopian farming communities.
