Cupping Notes:

Orange Blossom. White Grape. Mandarin. 

This exceptional fully washed coffee was dry milled and exported by Primrose, PLC. The coffee was grown by smallholder farmers living around the kabele (town) of Muje in Oromia region. Most contributing farmers own less than a hectare of land, and they grow coffee simply as a backyard cash crop. Coffee will usually be interspersed with other subsistence crops, such as sweet potato, mangos and avocados, but there are no other primary cash crops grown in the region.

Our exporter and the supplier's mill paid more than the market price for a kilogram of red cherry, and those farmers that bring quality red cherry are paid a cash incentive, ensuring higher-than-average overall quality. Coffee is selectively handpicked before being delivered to the mill collection points, usually within 5 km of the producers’ homes. Great care is taken upon delivery to separate out any overripe, underripe or damaged beans before consolidating with other lots for the road to the wet mill.

 At least once a day, the collected coffee cherry is delivered to the mill. For this particular lot, coffee cherry is delivered from slightly further afield from the town of Muje. This cherry is kept separate from coffee provided by residents of the town of Mesina, where this washing station is located.

Muji Mesina was recently featured in our 2025 Chinese New Year blend -Festive as a part of a two bean blend, and if you have enjoy it, you will adore this coffee as a featured single origin. It stand alone very well, whether brew as a filtered coffee or even as an espresso, and we can see this quickly in every home-barista brew table and in the menu offering of many of our wholesale partners.
