About This Coffee

This nano lot from Francisca and Oscar Cubillo features a Rume Sudan Ethiopian landrace cultivar processed with the Yellow Diamond method.

The coffee exhibits floral notes of lemon and orange blossom, sweet citrus with lemon, lime, and tangerine, plus stone fruit character with apricot undertones.
