Blind Assessment
Berry-driven, spice-toned. Mulberry, clove, ginger blossom, oak, baking chocolate in aroma and cup. Sweetly brisk acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. The spice-toned finish leads with notes of ginger blossom and clove.
Notes
Turihamwe Turashobora is a small investor group started by seven women coffee producers who pooled their money to build their own wet mill in 2019. This coffee is produced entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Founded in 1995 by Brooke McDonnell and Helen Russell, Equator Coffees operates retail stores in the San Francisco Bay Area and southern California and provides coffee to hundreds of wholesale accounts.

Bottom Line
A nuanced, multi-layered Burundi alive with sweet spice and deep berry notes.
