Mulish Natural
A light-bodied Ethiopian coffee with soft citrus notes, fragrant aromatics, and a bright, lasting acidity.
The Mulish washing station, established in 2014 about 40 km from the town of Shakiso, has quickly earned a reputation for quality coffee. We have confirmed this in our cupping sessions. This is the second coffee we’ve sourced from them, and it continues to impress. Access to such reputable processing stations is vital for local farmers, as it enables them to secure fair prices for their crops.
One of the most remarkable things about coffee is the diverse cultures that it connects us to. Mulish Natural comes from the Guji Zone in Ethiopia. This land has been inhabited by Oromo farmers with a warrior tradition for centuries. By some accounts, in traditional Oromo culture, coffee is said to have been born from the grief of Waaqa, the sky god. After mistakenly condemning an innocent man, Waaqa wept over his grave, and from his divine tears, the first coffee plant sprang to life. Because it grew from Waaqa’s sorrow rather than ordinary water, coffee is revered as a special, sacred plant among the Oromo people.
