Rufous is a signature blend crafted from premium beans sourced from Brazil, Colombia, and Rwanda. This coffee features a smooth and balanced profile with tasting notes of ripe plum, creamy milk chocolate, and toasted hazelnuts. The blend combines natural-processed Brazilian beans for sweetness and body, washed Colombian beans for gentle fruitiness, and washed Rwandan beans for a rich mouthfeel. It is designed to be a mellow and satisfying brew suitable for any time of day.
