Artist Reserve: Ethiopia Muntasha - Anaerobic Natural

Highlights

“The turned-up sibling of Color's natural Muntasha, and the second 2026 Artist Reserve collaboration with illustrator Landon Sheely. Same producer, different fermentation: cherries from Arbegona in southern Ethiopia, roughly 600 outgrowers delivering to Mullugeta Muntasha's Dawencho station at 2,230 m, sealed and left to ferment longer as an anaerobic natural before drying. Variety 74158, G1 grade, 2026 harvest, roasted light. Where the natural was expressive, this one pushes the fruit into candy territory — blue fruits, blue ice pop and strawberry candy — while keeping the clarity that makes Muntasha's lots worth chasing. In the cup: pineapple, wild blueberry and caramel sweetness.”
