Our Las Margaritas Sudan Rume natural is back! The hybrid washed version of this coffee helped win us a Good Food Award in 2022 and this new natural lot still remains one of the most unique coffees we have cupped in our 30 years at the cupping table. The perfumy intensity of this coffee coupled with tasting notes of tropical fruit, rosemary, blood orange, sweet basil, hibiscus, and mint create an exceptional and wildly unique coffee experience. We highly recommend grabbing a bag today while supplies last as this coffee will go fast!
About the Sudan Rume variety. Sudan Rume is an exceptionally rare, wild coffee variety hailing from what is now South Sudan’s Boma Plateau just across the border from Ethiopia. Because this coffee variety is very low yielding (but wonderfully tasting), it is rarely grown as a single origin coffee and most often used as a stock of high quality genes for new hybrid varietals (for growers hoping to capture the exceptional flavors of Sudan Rume while creating higher yields.) In the last decade or so, however, specialty growers have started producing small lots of Sudan Rume and the variety has since gained global notoriety.
