One rare variety, one careful process. Here's what those words on the bag actually mean.
The variety · Sudan Rume
A rare heirloom from the Boma Plateau
Sudan Rume traces back to the Boma Plateau, near the border of South Sudan and Ethiopia. It's low-yielding and seldom planted, so lots are small, but it's prized for a floral, complex cup. This lot is grown in Colombia.
The process · Natural
Dried whole, in the cherry
Ripe cherries dry with the fruit still on the bean, so the sugars soak in. That's where the panela sweetness and stone fruit come from. A light roast in Melbourne keeps the orange blossom bright.

Expect a bright, layered cup with orange blossom on the aroma, panela sweetness through the middle and rich red stone fruit on the finish. The flavours open up further as the cup cools.
Sudan Rume is a rare heirloom coffee variety with roots on the Boma Plateau, near the border of South Sudan and Ethiopia. It's low-yielding and seldom planted, so lots are small, but it's prized for its floral, complex cup. This lot is grown in Colombia.
Choose Whole Beans if you grind at home, which keeps the florals freshest. Choose Filter Grind for pour-over, batch brew or AeroPress. For plunger, order whole beans and grind coarse.
Use 15 g of Sudan Rume with 250 g of water just off the boil and aim for a brew of around three minutes. A medium-fine grind and a slow, steady pour bring out the orange blossom first and the stone fruit as it cools.
Drink it black to taste the full range of flavours.
It's roasted light for pour-over and batch brew, which is where it shines. You can pull it as espresso, but it will be bright and delicate. For flat whites and lattes, our espresso roasts are a better match.
