About this Farm
(From coffeeshrub.com)
- Rumudamo is a privately owned farm and processing site near Bensa, part of the Sidama Zone of Ethiopia's southern regions. "Rumudamo" is both the name of the wet mill, as well as the small village, or "Woreda", where it is located. The site boasts altitude above 2000 meters, and many of the farms in the area are above 2200 meters above sea level. High altitude does not guarantee high quality, but this is a case where the two are both very true! Rumudamo's cups are floral and bright, with the kind of complex, delicate aroma that puts it in a class of its own. It's really no surprise this site took 1st place at Ethiopia's "Cup of Excellence" competition in 2020! The station is run by a group called Daye Bensa, who we've bought several other lots from, including Bombe, Shantawene, and Hamasho (launches next week). The latter, along with this lot, are their premium quality, which, if you've tasted the others, says a lot! It's worth noting that the screen size is on the small side too. The majority of the coffee is 15+, but we are spotting quite a few 14 screen beans in there too. The biggest concern here is that these smaller, lower density beans will roast faster than the largest coffee. While that can be true, we found that either sticking to City to City+ roast range or slowing down the last leg of the roast helps keep the small beans from charring and darker 'roast' flavors at bay.
