Natural processing, a technique cherished by the coffee world, unveils the hidden flavors within coffee beans. This method allows coffee cherries to dry intact, intensifying the fruit-forward notes characteristic of this approach.
Ripe cherries are carefully selected and laid out to dry, gradually transforming into delicate, dried husks over several weeks. During this time, the beans absorb the essence of the fruit, resulting in a coffee with vibrant flavor profiles. Once fully dried, the cherries are expertly milled to reveal the precious coffee beans within.
Natural processing has become particularly common in regions without easy access to water or where water scarcity poses challenges to traditional coffee processing methods. This necessity has led to innovation, with coffee producers worldwide embracing natural processing for its quality and flavor-enhancing benefits.
While customers are familiar with Venuste and the esteemed Tumba Washing Station, this crop of Tumba Rulindo Natural brings a new coffee to our lineup, showcasing a rich flavor profile. It boasts bright, fruit-forward notes with hints of strawberry, vanilla, and apricot. This sensory experience is a testament to the meticulous process and dedication of Venuste and the producers of the Rulindo District in Rwanda.
Despite its humble origins, natural processing has become synonymous with quality and innovation. We invite you to embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the unique characteristics that natural processing imparts to each cup with this new offering from Tumba.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Corvus Coffee Roasters takes a direct, relationship-driven approach to sourcing and roasting. Founded in 2010 by Phil and Autumn Goodlaxson, the company is known for multi-year producer partnerships, a Farmer Focus Program, and strong internal training and benefits for staff. Corvus emphasizes storytelling, public engagement, and initiatives that support gender equity and inclusion across its operations.
For Goodlaxson, a smaller menu isn’t about exclusivity. He wants Corvus to feel approachable for anyone who walks in, whether they already follow specialty coffee closely or not. Winning over a customer who’s never paid attention to single-origin coffee is more meaningful to him than competing for the attention of those already immersed in the scene. By keeping the emphasis on quality, he hopes to spark curiosity that can grow over time.
what we’re most proud of is the way that we do business at origin, and how those values translate to how we do business here in the U.S. The transfer of this knowledge that only comes from knowing the farmers we work with and working with them in person, to our partners is our key differentiator.
