We're thrilled to add another stellar Ethiopian lot to our menu. This coffee comes from the Rumudamo Washing Station in the mountainous village of Arbegona. Rumudamo has a history of excellence, having placed 2nd and 3rd in the 2020 Cup of Excellence for Ethiopia. This is our first year sourcing from the Arbegona region.

In addition to the region's varietals, terroir, and elevation, this coffee's bright, fruit-forward flavors can be attributed to meticulous processing. After cherries are delivered to the washing station, they're placed in water for floating and sorting. The cherries are then de-pulped and laid to dry on raised beds. To ensure even drying, the parchment is constantly moved until it reaches the desired moisture content. 

We've already had several great lots from Ethiopia on our menu this year and look forward to adding Rumudamo to the list. Look for fruity, tropical notes complimented by white tea. We recommend brewing this coffee with a pour-over, by-the-cup method with a 1:16.5 ratio, filtered water at 204-206℉, a medium grind, and a 3-3.5 minute brew cycle.
