Fazenda Santuario Sul is a 120-hectare farm, 80 hectares of which are planted in coffee. Among the 30 varieties and cultivars grown there (which include Gesha) is this heirloom type called Rume Sudan, an heirloom variety discovered in Sudan in the 1940s and thought to be part of the Ethiopian landrace (wild) Arabica family. This is a selection of Yellow Bourbon, a more classical Brazilian cultivar. The heirloom varieties and very high altitude contribute to the exceptional quality of the farm's coffee.
