Description
Game flavor: "Made from beans grown in the southern regions of Dream of Rustam, roasted in Portofiro's Hill of Pigs neighbourhood. Highly acidic, and content with it."
The everyday canned coffee. Cheaper and lighter than [Jefa Red & Black Blend](/wiki/items/jefa-red-black-blend) — ☉ 5 vs ☉ 7, Fatigue -3 vs Jefa's -5, Anxiety +1 vs +2.
Use Rumba when:
- Fatigue is creeping but not at red. - Anxiety has headroom. - You want a cheap maintenance dose without committing to Jefa's full hit.
The lore layer is worth noting: every can is a small trade vignette. Beans come from [Dream of Rustam](/wiki/tasks/dream-of-rustam) (a coastal country classified as 'Unknown' on the world map). Roasting happens in [Portofiro](/wiki/locations/portofiro)'s Hill of Pigs neighborhood. That's a real Rustamian-Portofiran supply chain you're drinking through.
Free can: in a box near [The Boatman](/wiki/characters/boat-man) at the Old Docks. The Boatman is Rustamian. The coffee uses Rustamian beans. The placement is on theme.
