Blind Assessment

Fruit- and cocoa-toned. Raspberry, cocoa nib, thyme, cedar, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with even-keeled acidity; plush, very syrupy mouthfeel. Jammy, herbaceous finish.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers surrounding Huye Mountain Washing Station, entirely of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line

A confident, familiar, satisfying Rwanda with notes of red berry up front, complicated by pleasing bittersweet citrus and crisp cocoa nib throughout.
