About the Cup
This coffee cup delights with a floral aroma mingled with vanilla, apricot, red fruits, and chocolate. The taste features blueberries, raspberries, citrus, and a hint of spice, balanced by a pleasant sweetness and tartaric acidity. It finishes with a creamy body that lingers on the palate.
About the Processing
The cherries are carefully hand-picked and fermented for 36 hours in steel tanks without water. The tanks are closed but not airtight, allowing air to speed up fermentation. Afterward, they are dried in a mechanical dryer for 48 hours at a constant temperature of 40°C. Finally, the Sudan beans are sun-dried on raised beds for 15 days until they reach the right humidity level.
About the Varietal
Sudan Rume, discovered in 1940, is a rare variety of C. arabica found in East Africa's Boma Plateau near the Sudan-Ethiopia border. Known for its resistance to coffee cherry disease, it's often used in breeding. Though its yield is medium and harvests are small, it offers exceptional quality. This coffee stands out with large, long beans and a distinctive flavor profile. When processed, it features floral notes, cardamom, and sweet spice aromas, avoiding the grassy tones sometimes found in washed coffees.
