Coffee Collective presents Ethiopia MULUGETA WHITE HONEY, which you will enjoy once and then want to return to again and again. It is light, clean, and beautifully floral, yet pleasantly sweet. The first sips reveal sweet peach and honey, complemented by bergamot in the background, which completes the typical tea flavor of this coffee. The cup is accompanied by an aroma of heather, which perfectly complements the flavor profile of the drink.
Behind this coffee is Mulugeta Muntasha from Arbegona in Sidama, Ethiopia. His work has earned him repeated top rankings in competitions in recent years. On his farm , at an altitude of around 2,300 meters above sea level, he relies on slow ripening. It is thanks to the extreme altitude that the beans acquire their extraordinary density and complex acidity. The coffee has a subtle, delicate aroma, but is not bland. Mulugeta has also built a reputation as an exceptional producer, and this coffee is one of the reasons why he has garnered awards and attention.
And now for the magic of processing, namely thewhite honey method. After harvesting, the cherries are first stripped of their skin, but a thin layer of sweet pulp is left on the beans. This method of processing combines the best of both worlds – the purity of washed coffees and the full sweetness of natural ones. With white honey, only a very thin layer of pulp is left, resulting in greater purity and a smoother, more refined sweetness than darker honey varieties. White honey is more about purity and refinement than wildness, resulting in a cup that is floral, clean, and beautifully honey-sweet.
