Mullugeta Muntasha
Producer Profile
Mullugeta Muntasha grew up in Bursa, where until recently, no coffee was grown, despite being part of the Sidama zone. Mullugeta's first work with coffee was actually as a truck driver in neighbouring Arsi, where he transported cherry from collection sites to a washing station. Through this experience, he became familiar with the coffee business. Eventually, farmers in Bursa began planting coffee, and in 2021 he returned there to open his first drying station: Dawencho, where he produced two top COE lots. In 2022, four of the competition's top lots were processed at his station located next to his farm. This particular lot, is from his Arbegona station, which is supplied by 600 outgrowers.
Brewing Mullugeta Muntasha
Recommended Use: FILTER
Where to Grind: Start at a coarse setting within our recommended grind range*
*Refer to our Grind & Brew Guide for recipes and grind setting ranges tailored to specific grinders and brewers.
For best results we recommend resting your filter coffee for two to three weeks post-roast before brewing.
Sidama
Arbegona Woreda is part of the famous Sidama zone, where many of our favourite Ethiopian coffees are grown. Coffee is the main cash crop in Arbegona, where it benefits from very high altitudes and a favourable micro-climate.
Walega
Walega 74158 is one of six selections that were approved for release in 1974 as part of a CBD-resistance (Coffee Berry Disease) selection program. During the 1970's, researchers from the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre searched the forests in the Illuababora zone for CBD-resistant mother trees. Today 74158 is heavily propagated in South Western Ethiopia, and is one of two dominant varieties in Bensa, along with 74112.
