Blind Assessment
Crisply sweet, deep-toned. Cocoa nib, tangerine zest, magnolia, date, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with gentle, round acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to date and cocoa nib with a hint of tangerine zest.
Notes
This coffee tied for the third-highest rating in a cupping of coffees from roasters in the northwestern U.S. for Coffee Review’s April 2020 tasting report. Comprised entirely of local strains of the Bourbon variety of Arabica and processed by the wet, or washed, method at the Bumbogo washing station. Founded in 1971 in Bellingham, Washington, Tony’s Coffee is one of the earliest craft roasteries in the Pacific Northwest. Visit www.tonyscoffee.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A fine Rwanda cup with deep sweetness animated by delicate fruit, floral and cocoa notes.
