Ethiopia Rumudamo

Coffee overview

Rumudamo is one of the highest-elevation stations in all of Ethiopia, and consequentially, the beans in this lot are some of the smallest to be found anywhere. Produced by industry stalwarts Daye Bensa, this lot offers abundant ripe melon and pungent florals which provide one of the best Ethiopian experiences of the season.
