Blind Assessment

Multi-faceted, enticingly sweet-savory. Lychee, cardamom, cocoa nib, fennel, star jasmine in aroma and cup. Savory-sweet structure with vibrantly juicy acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Rich-toned, very long finish with leading notes of lychee and cardamom.

Notes

This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 15 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2022. Comprised entirely of beans from the rare Sudan Rume, a presumably very old variety of Arabica originally selected from wild trees growing on the Boma Plateau of Sudan, close to the border with Ethiopia. Produced by Rigoberto Herrera at Granja La Esperanza in Colombia and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Nostalgia Coffee Roasters is a woman-owned specialty coffee roaster founded by Taylor Fields in 2018 as a mobile café. Nostalgia is now focused on bringing exceptional coffee to folks around the world via its online store and wholesale program. Visit www.nostalgiacoffeeroasters.com for more information.

Bottom Line

An excitingly complex natural-processed Colombia Sudan Rume, layered and deep, with sweet tropical fruit notes and an umami foundation.
