This Sudan Rume coffee is grown at Finca Las Margaritas in the Valle del Cauca region of Colombia at an elevation of 1,570 to 1,850 meters. Produced by the Herrera family at Cafe Granja La Esperanza, this lot undergoes a Natural XO process, which involves an extended 70-hour fermentation in GrainPro bags. This method enhances the coffee's aromatic intensity and acidity, resulting in a complex flavor profile characterized by notes of violet, strawberry, and sangria.
