Always on the lookout for noble varieties capable of giving their best on the Azul volcano terroir, Alejo Castro has kindly reserved this confidential batch of Sudan Rume honey process for us. This rare and low-yielding variety, native to South Sudan, delivers a very fine and delicate cup, complete with floral, fruity, and slightly spicy notes.

Sourcing note

Situated on the fertile slopes of the still-active Volcan Poas, Volcan Azul is first and foremost a conservation area, with barely a quarter of its 300 hectares planted to vines. The rest is a nature reserve consisting mainly of forest and streams, sanctuaries for numerous wild animals. This predominance of nature generates a micro-climate conducive to perfect fruit ripening and ideal conditions for fermentation and drying. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, highly qualified permanent staff and optimal agronomic management, it's no wonder that Volcan Azul coffees regularly feature in the Cup Of Excellence awards. This SL28 enabled us to win the Brewers Cup with Pierre de Chanterac and the Barista Cup with Marie Picoche, in 2020.
