ABOUT THIS COFFEE

Sudan Rume, a rare variety produced at Finca Buenos Aires in Huila, Colombia.

Sudan Rume is a rare Arabica variety whose origins trace to the region around present-day South Sudan. It became widely known in specialty coffee after Sasa Sestic used Sudan Rume to win the 2015 World Barista Championship.

In this lot from Buenos Aires, the variety’s distinctive character is layered with a fermentation process, creating a cup with vivid berry-like fruit.

When hot, the cup suggests strawberry and blueberry. As it cools, the impression moves toward the sweetness of ripe plum. This changing character as you drink is one of the coffee’s defining qualities.

ROASTING

We roast this coffee lightly so that Sudan Rume’s complex fruit character can appear in distinct layers rather than blending together.

From hot to cool, we aim for a cup that lets you experience bright berries, the sweetness of ripe fruit, and a lingering finish as the temperature changes.
