Blind Assessment

Richly chocolaty, balanced and deep. Dark chocolate, date, magnolia, cane sugar, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with brisk acidity; plush, satiny mouthfeel. The crisply sweet finish centers around notes of dark chocolate and magnolia.

Notes

Burundi is a small, landlocked country in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa. Most coffee is grown in the mountains of the north, bordering Rwanda. Benefiting from ideal growing conditions and large plantings of local strains of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica, Burundi coffee has an excellent reputation, though it is better known in Europe than in the United States. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Mystic Monk Coffee is a small-batch roaster associated with a Carmelite monastery located in the Rocky Mountains of northern Wyoming. The monks emphasize an artisan approach to roasting and a commitment to quality. Visit www.mysticmonkcoffee.com or call 877-751-6377 for more information.

Bottom Line

A deep-toned, balanced, inviting Burundi — chocolaty and sweet, with undertones of magnolia and rich aromatic wood.
