We’re excited to present another Sudan Rume for this month’s “Pinnacle” showcase. Jairo Arcila is a stalwart producer in the Quindio region of Colombia & owns a few farms that produce these incredible coffees. Sudan Rume is amongst a number of exotic cultivars Jairo grows at VIllaroza. 

This unique cultivar originated from the forests in Southern Sudan, on the borders of Ethiopia. Sudan Rume is known for its fruit-forward expressions backed by some florality. It is also commonly used as a root stock for newer hybrids for its quality. This lot was dry fermented for 24 hours before being bagged in Grainpro & fermented further in a cooler for 50 hours. This brings a depth & complexity to the flavour experience. 

We selected this coffee to showcase the contrast in terroir between the same cultivars. Whilst the Sudan Rume from Jardines offers a light juicy mouthfeel, this lot from Villaroza displays a denser mouthfeel that is reminiscent of cherry syrup. We hope you will enjoy the unique tangy acidity as well as the tropical mango sweetness!
