Processing
The cherries are immersed in water at 90c for 120 seconds (Thermal Shock). The cherry is pulled and fermentation begins in an anaerobic bioreactor. Coffee is sanitized with an injection of ozonated water. Yeast is added (Saccharomyces pastorianus) and this is closely monitored and fermented for 96 hours. Once finished, the coffee is dried at 38c.
Variety
Sudan Rume is an extremely unique variety as it's a hybrid cultivar originating from the Boma Plateau, Sudan. The harvest is often incredibly small, and we think this coffee is a classic example of quality over quantity. We enjoy Sudan Rume for it's sweet yellow fruit/red fruit profile and unique complexity.
