Dege Mullugeta - Anaerobic Natural
Our second year working with Mullugeta Muntasha and the first we've featured a coffee in honour of his Son Dege, who oversees most of the farming. Mullugeta is a cup of excellence winner of Ethiopia in 2022. This Anaerobic natural is intensely juicy and sweet with a profile of purple fruits like grapes, and a bright citric acidity like limes and citrus.

In the cup
We enjoy this coffee for it's mouthwatering acidity that reminds us of grapes and limes. This coffee has a bright acidity with a long sweet finish and a silky body.

About The Producer
In 2021 Mullugeta returned to Bursa and began processing coffee at his own drying station, called Dawencho, where he won 2nd place in the Cup of Excellence for the Dawencho farmer group coffee and 6th place under his own name, Mullugeta Muntasha. In 2022, four of the top 10 CoE winners were Mullugeta’s lots, including that of Legesse Botola—the top winner and Mullugeta’s brother-in law—who processed coffee at Mullugeta’s washing station located next to his farm.
Variety
The Jimma Agricultural Research Centre (JARC), one of Ethiopia’s federal agricultural research centers, approved the release of 74158 in 1979. The variety originally came out of the Metu Bishari Selections taken from mother plants from the Metu woreda (district) of the Illuababora zone. 74158 was selected and propagated for its high yield potential and resistance to coffee berry disease.
