Rufous is a warm, inviting coffee blend crafted from premium beans sourced from Brazil, Colombia, and Rwanda. Brazilian beans add sweetness and body, Colombian beans bring gentle fruitiness, and Rwandan beans round it out with rich mouthfeel. The blend features Brazil Samba Reserve processed naturally, Colombia Popayan Reserve washed, and Rwanda Nyamurinda washed. It delivers comforting flavors of ripe plum, creamy milk chocolate, and toasted hazelnuts in a smooth, balanced cup. The coffee won a Bronze Award in the Milk Beverage Category at the Australia International Coffee Awards.
