Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly savory-sweet. Candycap mushroom, roasted cashew, kiwi, amber, baking chocolate in aroma and small cup. Crisp, satiny mouthfeel; umami-driven finish with notes of candycap mushroom and amber. In cappuccino format, chocolate notes assume center stage, supported by kiwi and cashew.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers around the Murundo Washing Station, entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). 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 rich, deep-toned single-origin Rwanda espresso with strong umami impulses; works especially well in the chocolaty milk shot.
