Rumanda is a single-origin coffee sourced from smallholder farms in the Kayanza region of Burundi. Grown at an altitude between 1500 and 2200 meters, this coffee consists of the Bourbon variety and is processed using the washed method. It offers an elegant and approachable profile with tasting notes of golden kiwi, shortbread, and a delicate floral finish of lemongrass. This refined, gentle coffee is produced through Matsitsi Trading, which focuses on high-quality specialty coffee and sustainable practices in the region.
Jake, Joe, and Herb Brodsky founded Novo Coffee in Denver, Colorado in 2002, establishing a family owned operation in the RiNo/Five Points neighborhood that has now operated for over two decades. Their Loring roaster, powered by Ferrari motors, roasts fresh daily to order, ensuring customers receive beans at peak freshness. A relationship driven sourcing approach, summarized by their motto Get Closer, shapes how the roastery builds direct connections with coffee producers and customers alike. This philosophy of proximity and connection has become the foundation of their reputation within Denvers vibrant coffee community.
