【コーヒーの味わい / COFFEE TASTING】

口に含んだ瞬間黄桃のような甘さが広がりハーバルな香りが鼻腔をスッと通り抜けます。
温度が冷めていくとベルガモットのようなジューシーな酸味が顔を出しアフターにきび糖のような甘さが続きます。
バランスのいいデイリーで飲みたくなるような1杯です。

【農園主のストーリー/Farmer's Story  】

Since childhood, coffee has been an essential part of James Fernández’s life. He grew up  surrounded by coffee plants, learning the trade alongside his parents and grandparents. His  restless spirit led him to diversify his crops in search of new opportunities, but he never stopped  feeling a special connection to coffee. Eventually, he returned to the coffee sector and discovered  his true passion within it. 

James began by planting Castillo coffee and, over time, improved his production methods and  learned about various processes. Later, he expanded his business by selling seedlings and seeds  of different varieties. It was then that he discovered the Geisha variety, which was little known at  the time but had unique sensory characteristics that inspired him to cultivate it. Using his best  seeds, he established one of the purest plantations of this variety. 

At the same time, James began his professional career in the coffee industry as a laboratory  assistant. Thanks to his discipline and talent, he advanced quickly, becoming one of the most  renowned cuppers in the region. This career allowed him to develop a comprehensive vision of  coffee production, combining his cultivation experience with expert management of every stage  in the value chain. He established himself as a prominent figure in the coffee world.

Today, his farm is a garden of special varieties such as Geisha, Sudan Rume, Bourbon Rosado, Wush Wush, in addition to traditional ones. With the support of Banexport, James has refined his  practices, implementing processes that ensure the quality and sustainability of his coffee. With  an eye on the future, he continues to embrace new challenges to produce microlots that tell  unique stories in every cup. 

【スーダン ルメ種に関する情報 /  Information about the Sudan rume

スーダン・ルメは、現在の南スーダン南部高地、ボマ高原付近に位置するルメ村で発見されたアラビカコーヒーノキの品種です。高い樹高、大きな葉、中程度の節間、そして細長い豆といった独特の形態的特徴で知られています。特に、その卓越した品質は高く評価されており、花のような、紅茶のような、複雑な香りとよく表現されます。

ボマ高原におけるC. arabicaの最初の記録は、1929年にフランスの植物学者オーギュスト・シュヴァリエによって記録されたものです。1938年には、スーダン政府の生態学顧問であったJ.G. マイヤーズが植物学調査中にこの発見を確認しました。1941年12月、マイヤーズはウガンダ農務省の経済植物学者A.S. トーマスと共にこの地域に戻り、保全と育種のための種子を収集しました。

トーマス氏は、ネリチュ山脈の斜面、特にバルブクとルメ周辺に、野生のアラビカ種が豊富に生息していると報告しました。バルブクでは、高さ5.5メートルにも達するコーヒーノキが観察され、葉と果実の形態に大きな多様性が見られました。歩道沿いには若い苗木が生育しており、これは地元のキチェポ族がチェリーを採取した後に種子を散布したものと考えられます。この地域の森林構成は、野生のアラビカ種が生息することで知られるエチオピアにも見られる湿潤な山岳林と一致していました。

バルブックの南約3~4.8キロメートルにあるルメ地域では、トウモロコシ畑の開墾地でコーヒーノキが栽培されているのが発見されました。これは意図的に植えられたものではなく、かつて森林だった土地の残骸でした。これらの木はバルブックのものよりも低く、葉の先端は緑色でした。1941年の探検で採取された種子は、アマニ研究ステーション、リアムングコーヒー研究ステーション(タンザニア)、スコット農業研究所(ケニア、ナイロビ)、そしてウガンダの複数の農業研究センターなど、主要な研究機関に送られました。

これらの種子ロットは、栽培品種C. arabica 'Rume Sudan'の遺伝的基盤であると考えられています。この品種は、耐病性と高品質を兼ね備えた交配種の開発において重要な役割を果たしてきました。コーヒーノキの赤さび病(Hemileia vastatrix)に対する自然耐性、低地への適応性、そして遺伝的特異性により、Sudan Rumeはコーヒー育種の未来にとって重要な資源となっています。

Sudan Rume is a Coffea arabica varietal originally discovered in the village of Rume, located in the  southern highlands of present-day South Sudan, near the Boma Plateau. It is known for its distinct  morphological characteristics: tall trees, large leaves, medium internodal spacing, and long,  narrow beans. It is especially appreciated for its exceptional cup quality, often described as floral,  tea-like, and complex. 

The first recorded presence of C. arabica in the Boma Plateau dates back to 1929, when French  botanist Auguste Chevalier documented the species. In 1938, J.G. Myers, an ecological advisor to  the Sudan Government, confirmed this discovery during a botanical expedition. In December  1941, Myers returned to the region with A.S. Thomas, economic botanist of the Uganda  Department of Agriculture, to collect seeds for conservation and breeding. 

Thomas reported abundant wild Arabica populations on the slopes of the Nelichu mountains,  especially around the localities of Barbuk and Rume. In Barbuk, coffee trees up to 5.5 meters tall  were observed, exhibiting significant diversity in leaf and fruit morphology. Young seedlings were  growing along footpaths, most likely resulting from the dispersal of seeds by local Kichepo people  after collecting cherries. The forest composition in this area was consistent with moist montane  forests also found in Ethiopia, known for harboring wild Arabica. 

In the Rume area, about 2–3 miles south of Barbuk, coffee was found growing in maize  clearings—not deliberately planted, but remnants of previously forested land. These trees were  shorter than those in Barbuk and had green-tipped leaves. Seeds collected during the 1941  expedition were sent to key research institutions such as the Amani Research Station and  Lyamungu Coffee Research Station (Tanzania), Scott Agricultural Laboratories (Nairobi, Kenya),  and multiple agricultural research centers in Uganda. 

These seed lots are believed to be the genetic foundation of the cultivars C. arabica 'Rume Sudan.  This varietal has played a critical role in the development of disease-resistant and high-quality  hybrids, Its natural resistance to coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix), adaptability to low  elevations, and genetic distinctiveness make Sudan Rume a vital resource for the future of coffee  breeding.
