DAK – Rumba 2026 Edition 200g | Ethiopia

Rumba comes round every year, and this is the 2026 edition.

Ethiopia matters to DAK more than most origins. They travel there annually and buy in enough volume to hold multiple lots through to the following harvest, which is why Rumba can exist as a yearly release rather than a one-off.

This year's lot comes from Tulise Washing Station, in the Gedeo zone, at 2100 metres, planted with heirloom varieties and local landraces. The processing is a dry anaerobic natural — fermentation without the tank being filled with water, which DAK point out is the more straightforward route in Ethiopia, where clean water at a washing station is not always a given. After fermentation the cherries dry for around 23 days in semi-shade.

Stewed strawberries, apricot and brown sugar, with a syrupy texture. Sweet and fruit-driven rather than bright.

Freshly roasted by DAK Coffee Roasters in Amsterdam and imported to the UK by ROAST EDIT Co.
