INTRO
An intense and aromatic anaerobic natural from Mulugeta Muntasha, an exceptional producer in Arbegona, Sidama. Strawberry candy sweetness leads, with green apple brightness and a honeydew melon freshness throughout. In the cup: strawberry candy, green apples, and honeydew melon.

THE PRODUCER
Mulugeta Muntasha is known for winning 3rd place in the 2024 Cup of Excellence and multiple top rankings in 2022. 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.

THE PROCESS
This 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.

The 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.

THE CUP
Intense and aromatic — strawberry candy sweetness leads, with green apple brightness through the middle and a honeydew melon freshness on the finish.

About this variety

JARC 74158 can produce a floral, bright and clean cup. Citrus, stone fruit and tea-like qualities are useful reference points, with process having a major effect.

Why this one is different
  • Ethiopia
  • Sidama
  • 2100-2300 masl
  • Natural

Ethiopian 74158 can be beautifully floral and fruit-led. The reviewed washed lots show citrus, peach, blossom and tea-like clarity; naturals deepen into berries, cherry and tropical fruit; honey processing adds jammy sweetness and perfume. Most examples come from very high farms in Sidama, so both elevation and process are central to how each one tastes.

Natural processing often brings a rounder, fruit-led expression, which can make the same variety feel quite different from a washed lot.

A little background

74158 is one of Ethiopia's numbered coffee selections associated with the country's agricultural research system. In the reviewed range it appears across Bensa and Arbegona in Sidama, under washed, natural, honey and anaerobic honey processing, which gives a useful view of how responsive it is to different methods.

Identification note Some listings pair 74158 with the local name Kurume or Krume. Ethiopian variety naming can combine research selections and local names, so this context preserves the supplied wording without claiming every use is botanically interchangeable.

Classification Ethiopian selection

Technical lineage An Ethiopian numbered selection associated with JARC, the Jimma Agricultural Research Center. This context does not equate the number with every coffee sold under the broader Kurume or Krume name.
