Blind Assessment
A refreshing, meadowy coffee. Sweet flowering grass, deeper-toned flowers, honey, and a raspberry-like fruit carry from aroma into cup and on into a long, delicately sweet finish. Gentle acidity, lightly syrupy body.
Notes
The coffee cooperatives of Rwanda, benefiting from superb growing conditions, traditional varieties of Arabica and support from aid agencies and coffee idealists, are beginning to produce coffees that rank among the world's finest and most distinctive. This coffee, like many produced in Rwanda, is certified Fair Trade, meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. Atomic Cafe is a coffee house on the North Shore of Massachusetts that began its refined in-house roasting program in 2005. Visit www.atomicafe.com or call 978-922-0042 for more information.
