Variety · Arabica
A specific, well-known Ethiopian coffee variety released by the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre (JARC) in 1979, originating from the Metu Bishari selections in the Illuababora zone.
Selected for its high yield potential and strong resistance to coffee berry disease, while "Kurume" is a general local term often associated with small bean sizes in regions like Gedeo and Sidama, 74158 is a documented, pedigree-selected agronomic variety. The plant features a medium-shrub habit with dark green, glossy leaves, and the cherries/beans tend to be on the smaller side. Grown at high elevations (often 2,000 to 2,400+ meters above sea level), the slow maturation yields a very dense bean. Famous for vibrant, clean, and delicate profiles featuring stone fruits (peach, apricot), heavy floral aromatics, citrus (mandarin/bergamot), and black tea or rose-like finishes.
