A Rare Expression: Bare by Elto Coffee

Sourced through our close partnership with Eliyas Dukamo and the team at Elto Coffee, Bare is an exceptionally rare and expressive offering. While our Hamasho lots focus on crystalline terroir clarity, Bare ventures boldly into wilder, more exuberant territory—striking a masterful balance between punchy fermentation character and pristine cup cleanliness.

The Style: Funky Yet Impeccably Clean

What makes Bare so captivating is its remarkable poise. It leans into the lush, exotic fruit complexity typical of premier anaerobic naturals—delivering that irresistible, playful edge—while remaining astonishingly clean and transparent. Rather than letting the processing overpower the cup, Elto’s meticulous control ensures the celebrated 74158 cultivar retains its core identity and elegant floral backbone.

The Cup Profile

In the cup, Bare bursts open with an electrifying spark of tangy kiwi acidity and bright tropical vibrancy. This quickly unfolds into rich, juicy layers of sweet rambutan and exotic stone fruits, creating a deeply expressive, multidimensional mouthfeel. Anchoring this wild fruit intensity is a delicate, perfumed ribbon of jasmine florals that carries seamlessly into a fragrant, remarkably long and clean finish.
