At The Last Bean, we believe that coffee is more than a morning ritual – it is an art form. That is why we are especially proud to share that our Ethiopia Arbegona specialty coffee has been honoured with the prestigious Gold Monde Selection Award 2025. This recognition is not only an honour, but also a strong confirmation of the exceptional quality of this unique single-origin coffee.

What makes Arbegona so special?

Arbegona, originating from Ethiopia’s renowned Sidama region, is a true expression of terroir. High-altitude growing conditions, volcanic soil and deeply rooted local coffee traditions come together to create a complex, fruity and floral flavour profile characteristic of the very best Ethiopian coffees.
With aromas of tropical fruit and roses, a medium body and a lively acidity, this coffee is an experience in itself – ideal for slow-brew methods such as V60 or Chemex, yet equally refined as a single-origin espresso.

Gold Monde Selection Award: what does it mean?

The Monde Selection Awards are presented annually by the International Institute for Quality Selections in Brussels and have been an internationally recognised benchmark for product quality since 1961. Products ranging from food to beverages are independently evaluated by a panel of experts based on numerous criteria, including aroma, flavour, texture and overall quality.

A Gold Award signifies a score between 80% and 89%, proving that the product excels across multiple quality parameters and delivers high consumer satisfaction.

Why is this award important to us?

• Internationally recognised quality label: The Gold Monde Selection Award is not a marketing gimmick – it is an objective, independent recognition of quality that helps consumers identify truly exceptional products.
  
• Proof of expertise: The evaluation is carried out by an experienced panel of professionals from the food and beverage industry.
  
• Confidence for you as a coffee lover: The label assures you that your coffee not only tastes outstanding, but also meets international standards of excellence.
