Sudan Rume
Cafe-PihaAbout This Coffee
A wild Arabica variety originally from South Sudan, cultivated at Café Granja La Esperanza in the Valle del Cauca (Caicedonia) region of Colombia at 1700–2000 meters altitude. Naturally processed: cherries are hand-picked, carefully sorted, then fermented in temperature-controlled silos at around 35°C for 48 hours before sun-drying for approximately 15 days. This process yields exceptional natural sweetness with notes of bay laurel flower, absinthe, chocolate, mint, and caramel. Ranked among the top three coffees in the world by Coffee Review (2019).

Cafe-Piha
Piha runs a proper in house roastery tucked behind its main cafe and aims to roast daily so beans leave as fresh as possible. Founder and head roaster Pierre Guérin selects seasonal lots from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya and Indonesia and focuses on letting each origin express itself in either espresso or filter. The roastery won recognition at the Global Coffee Awards and has worked closely with producers such as the Frinsa Estate in West Java on natural process lots. They ship retail bags, run educational workshops and treat coffee selection with the same curiosity you might give a good bottle of wine.
