This lot was produced by the team at Elto Coffee. Elto is run by Atiklit Dejene and Eliyas Dukamo, both with experience at the highest level of Ethiopian coffee. Atiklit studied agriculture before working as processing manager for Gesha Village and then for Daye Bensa, while she also managed Daye Bensa’s lab. Eliyas comes from a business background, having grown up in Bensa, been part of founding Daye Bensa, and working as operations manager there for many years. A formidable skillset, they founded Elto in 2022, naming the company with the Sidama word for ‘abundant passion’. They live up to this moniker in every sense. 

During our visit this year, we witnessed Atiklit and Eliyas’ genuine passion for coffee and for quality, as well as for the coffee industry and the needs of each single client. Known for their bespoke processing and their bespoke nano-lots, Elto are aiming for a new level of Ethiopian quality. We are excited to follow along in their journey, and hold our communications with them open.
