Blind Assessment

Intense, zesty but sweet. Grapefruit, peach, rose-like flowers, baker’s chocolate in aroma and cup. Richly crisp acidity; silky mouthfeel. The floral note in particular carries into a long, dry, flavor-saturated finish.

Notes

The Cup of Excellence is the most esteemed competition for green coffees from a given country of origin. This coffee was the sixth-place prize winner from the 2012 Rwanda competition chosen by a select group of international cuppers. Produced from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica. An integral part of New York’s coffee renaissance, Brooklyn-based Café Grumpy opened its first café in 2005 and has since expanded to four locations, including its own roasting facility.
