INTRO The newest Rumba lot for 2026 has arrived — super delicious, sweet, and fruity, deserving of its own special box. Stewed strawberries and apricot sweetness lead, with a brown sugar depth and a very syrupy texture throughout. In the cup: stewed strawberries, apricot, and brown sugar.
THE PRODUCER Ethiopia is a special origin, visited every year to buy a significant quantity across multiple lots that last until the following harvest. This year's Rumba comes from the Tulise Washing Station, growing Heirloom and local landrace varieties at 2,100 masl.
THE PROCESS Rumba this year is a Dry Anaerobic Natural — the most straightforward version of the technique, since it doesn't require the fermentation tank to be filled with clean water, sometimes a logistical challenge in Ethiopia. After fermentation, the cherries dry for around 23 days in a semi-shaded environment.
Skipping the water-filled tank stage is the defining practical detail here — it simplifies the anaerobic process while still building the syrupy texture and stewed fruit sweetness that define this cup.
THE CUP Sweet and syrupy — stewed strawberries and apricot lead, with a brown sugar depth running throughout. A rich, straightforward anaerobic natural from one of Ethiopia's most consistently sourced lots.
