Blind Assessment
Deep, pungent, bittersweet. Roasted cacao nib, complex flowers (tea rose, violet), plum, kumquat, red currant in aroma and cup. Brisk, resonant acidity; fullish, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flowers in particular carry into a sweet though slightly bitter-edged finish.
Notes
Produced entirely from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety. Cocatu is a cooperative located near the town of Tumba. Rwanda’s impressive potential as fine coffee producer has come to fruition over the past decade owing to the industry of its growers, generous support from international aid agencies and the commitment of North American specialty coffee roasters.
