Rwanda 13 30

Our single origin Rwanda comes from a twin washing station operation in the Nyamasheke region of Rwanda’s Western Province. A handful of local farmers hand-pick heirloom bourbon coffee trees above 1900 meters. The ripe coffee cherries are then wet-processed and slow dried for maximum flavor retention.

The initial aroma has an underlying honey sweetness, not the density of honey itself, but like tea sweetened with honey, along with a spiced orange smell that reminds me of orange marmalade. Once the cup cools enough to drink it, a lovely citrus-like brightness is apparent from the get go, like pink grapefruit, which is complementary to the citrus accents that come into play as the temp dips further. A light honey note accents the cup, and a pervasive yet simple raw sugar sweetness stays with you from start to finish.
