From Ilse:
 
"This coffee is sourced from the Rumudamo washing station in the village of Arbegona, located in Sidama. Harvested in January 2025 at an elevation of 2,200 MASL, around 600 local smallholder farmers contribute their cherries to create this lot. The primary variety delivered is Heirloom 74112. Expect a clean cup with a juicy acidity, sparkling florals and great complexity. We taste notes of lemon lime, nectarine, white peach, yuzu and jasmine.
 
Rumudamo is managed by Asefa Dukamo Korma of Daye Bensa, who are also the exporters for this and many of our other lots from Sidama. Daye Besna has become a leader in specialty coffee within Ethiopia, regularly producing lots that place in the Cup of Excellence. Coffee here is grown at some of the highest elevations in the world, producing some of our favorite flavor profiles.
 
Cherries are collected at peak ripeness. Once sorted they are depulped and the seeds are submerged in water and fermented for 48-72 hours. Following this stage the seeds are rinsed thoroughly and moved to drying tables where they are dried on raised beds for 8-12 days"
