INTRO

oma Lot 1 from Elto Coffee is the first of oma's exclusive selections from Eliyas Dukamo and Atiklit Dejene's remarkable Bona operation in Sidama — a high-altitude nano-lot producer operating at 2,250 metres with a philosophy built around single-farmer traceability and meticulous harvest timing. The 74110 Classic variety, Washed and roasted for filter, delivers a gently expressive cup of refined white florals, ripe orange, and soft yellow peach, with a lingering Earl Grey quality that speaks to the lot's pristine elevation and careful processing.

Elto Coffee's commitment to nano-lot precision — dividing each lot as it is picked, targeting specific clusters of trees and precise harvest windows — results in a coffee of unusual consistency and clarity. This is a collector's lot: small, traceable, and distinctly Sidamense.

THE PRODUCER

Elto Coffee is founded by Eliyas Dukamo and Atiklit Dejene, targeting specialty green coffee with the purpose of building a better coffee world. They focus on nano-lot and special exclusive preparations with a strong commitment to playing an active role in the coffee industry. Unlike common practice in Ethiopia, Elto Coffee focuses on one distinct area or region where the coffee is grown at the level of a single farmer and producer.

Eliyas and Atiklit believe careful harvesting is a critical step in producing high-quality coffee with complex taste profiles. By carefully dividing each lot as it is picked, they can target specific clusters of trees and precise harvest windows with high accuracy. This approach — applied consistently across their Bona, Bare, Hamasho, and Elora operations — has made Elto Coffee one of Ethiopia's most exciting and closely watched micro-lot producers in the specialty world.

THE PROCESS

The Washed process for oma Lot 1 involves:

• 🍒 Selective hand-picking — Only fully ripe 74110 Classic cherries are harvested from targeted tree clusters in Bona
• ✅ Lot separation — Each lot is divided immediately at picking to maintain traceability and consistency
• 🔧 Pulping — Cherries are pulped to remove the fruit skin
• 🧪 Fermentation — Parchment is fermented under controlled conditions to loosen mucilage
• 💧 Washing — Thoroughly washed with clean water to remove all fermentation residue
• ☀️ Raised-bed drying — Parchment dries slowly at 2,250 MASL, where cool temperatures preserve the lot's delicate aromatic character

The combination of extreme altitude, precise lot separation, and clean Washed processing produces a cup of exceptional clarity and lingering elegance.

THE CUP

A smooth, lingering filter coffee of quiet refinement and aromatic precision. White florals open gently into ripe orange and soft yellow peach, with a distinctive Earl Grey quality that settles into a long, clean, and satisfying finish.
