At 2,300 metres above sea level, the farm produces washed, anaerobic natural, and natural coffees with a focus on the highest quality, working with 320 outgrowers to improve lot separation for better payments. Coffees from Mulugeta's farm are bright and floral with strong structure, shaped by slow maturation and refined post-harvest techniques. By identifying and separating top-performing lots, Mulugeta creates pathways for higher payments and recognition across his network of outgrowers — a reputation built on consistency, detail, and the belief that excellence should be shared across the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot is an Anaerobic Natural — cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-restricted environment before drying whole, allowing the fruit to impart intensified character directly into the bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anaerobic fermentation is the defining step — it's what builds the intense, candy-like strawberry sweetness behind this cup, with green apple brightness and honeydew freshness rounding out the aromatic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntense and aromatic — strawberry candy sweetness leads, with green apple brightness through the middle and a honeydew melon freshness on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🍓 Strawberry Candy 🍏 Green Apples 🍈 Honeydew Melon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coffee Collective","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 200g \/ September 22nd","offer_id":58842614661494,"sku":"CC-MULUGETA-MUNTASHA-74158-NATURAL-FIL-200G-SEP22","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/Mulugeta200gfront_b3980666-5076-49df-b2e5-47bf857acf9a.png-cropped.png?v=1790672648"},{"product_id":"coffee-collective-basha-bekele-natural-74158-ethiopia","title":"Coffee Collective - Basha Bekele Natural 74158 | Ethiopia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthiopia — Basha Bekele Bombe 74-158 Kurume \"Basha\" (Natural)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTastes Like — 🍒 Cherry • 🍫 Dark Chocolate • 💜 Violet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Basha Bekele (~150 partner farmers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSite: Bombe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Bensa, Sidama, Ethiopia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarietal: 74-158 Kurume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElevation: 2,200–2,300+ masl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice Paid: $14.30 USD\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTRO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Basha Bekele's original processing site near the well-known village of Bombe — fruity and floral, with cherry sweetness meeting a dark chocolate depth and a violet aromatic.

This lot comes from Basha's original site near Bombe, where some of his partner farmers work at over 2,300 masl. Basha also operates collection points in Shantawene and Kokose, and added a new site in Badigalo this year, at even higher altitude — meaning he now works with around 150 other farmers, exporting their coffee directly to roasters. Basha's family has been in coffee for many years; his father is well respected in Bombe, having previously managed the local co-op there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lot is a Natural — cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to impart its character directly into the bean.
