Coffee Collective - Mulugeta Washed - Filter - 250g

The story:
Our partners at Coffee Collective hunted down this masterclass lot from Mulugeta Muntasha, an absolute legend in Arbegona, Sidama. Mulugeta pinned a 3rd place medal at the Cup of Excellence (COE) in 2024, and this washed lot proves exactly why he stays on the podium. Grown at an intense 2100–2250 masl stretch, this blend of local Kurume and selection 74-158 represents the pinnacle of clean, high-density Ethiopian production. The team at Coffee Collective paid a massive premium for this quality—because excellence isn't cheap.

The taste:
This cup delivers a pristine, razor-sharp flavor profile that hits like a liquid botanical infusion. An immediate, crisp surge of citrus blossom and sharp bergamot completely electrifies your tongue. As the high-definition acidity rings through your mouth, it anchors itself into a dense, fleshy sweetness of ripe stone fruit. It is incredibly clean, transparent, and carries a textbook tea-like structure that redefines washed Sidama.

The feeling:
This is explicitly engineered for the hardcore black coffee purist who handles their pour-over with the precision of a chemist. If you want a light roast that acts like a sophisticated Earl Grey tea with a heavy dose of fresh fruit clarity, Mulugeta's lot is your new benchmark. Keep the milk and sugar far away, brew it slow, and drink it pristine.
