Blind Assessment
Sweetly tart, juicy, bright. Red grape, sandalwood, dark chocolate, almond butter, pink grapefruit zest in aroma and small cup. Sweet-tart structure with elegantly high-toned acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Crisply fruit-toned finish.
Notes
This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 20 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2022. Produced at the Cyesha Coffee Plantation entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit).

Bottom Line
This natural-processed Rwanda has sweet-tart top notes and a rich dark chocolate base, complicated by bittersweet citrus zest.
