From the producer

Mulugeta Muntasha is a producer in Arbegona, Sidama, who operates a high-elevation farm and works with 320 outgrowers. Coffee Collective documents a quality-based producer payment of about US$13.20 per kilogram for this coffee, but does not specify whether the exact lot came from Mulugeta’s own farm, named outgrowers, or both.

From the roaster

Coffee Collective describes an elegant, clean and sweet filter coffee with stone fruit, citrus blossom and bergamot.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This release pairs the 74-158 Kurume designation with a high-elevation Arbegona washed profile and unusually transparent producer-payment information. Two independent exact-release rating pages yield a normalized public-sentiment estimate of 83.4/100; it remains separate from Who Makes the Best Coffee’s original tasting score.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Reverified the live primary listing

Confirmed the exact current 250 g, 158 DKK washed filter release, producer, altitude range, variety label, taste profile, and producer payment.

02
Added directly relevant processing detail

Documented Kofio’s exact-release report of approximately 24-hour water-tank fermentation and raised-African-bed drying, with retailer attribution.

03
Added a second sentiment source

Combined Coffee Review Denmark’s 4/6 rating with Kofio’s 5/5 aggregate from two verified-customer reviews using a transparent source-level normalization.

What was added?

Exact-release processing and drying context, Light to Medium-Light retailer classification, refreshed current retail verification, and a two-source 83.4/100 public-sentiment estimate.

What wasn't added?

No point altitude, exact contributing farm/outgrowers, harvest date, formal grade, bag-specific roast date, or owner tasting score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now separates primary facts, retailer-reported processing details, and independently normalized public sentiment while preserving the untouched original-review fields.

What you might taste

Coffee Collective reports stone fruit, citrus blossom, and bergamot; Kofio reviewers describe the coffee as light, delicate, and tea-like.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
