This experimental lot is inspired by the emotional connection of the producer's family to the coffee community as a whole. Coffee farming, processing, and distribution for consumption have been kept in silos and their family believes this can change. The idea of this coffee is to provide the most authentic coffee cup of Rwandan coffee to coffee lovers, making the consumer think of the producer as the grower also keeps the buyer in mind when processing the coffee.

This is a solid anaerobic coffee at a very reasonable price point. I tend to only reach for more processed coffees every few cups to mix things up, but this feels like one like that I could enjoy more frequently. It does have the "fermenty" profile, but the tropical fruits are balanced enough that it could be more of a daily drinker versus reaching "novelty" territory where I'd only want a sample of it.

I brewed on a V60 with 15:1 ratio and 185F water, coarser grind than typical. This coffee extracted very easily.

Subtle fruity notes

Very nice blend of fruity notes. Took a bit more to dial it in, but quite tasty afterward.

Very flavourful and fruity light roast!

This is a very special roast and needs more love! I drink my shots straight with hot water (long blacks) and enjoy a strong body with complexity/elegance. If you dial it well during its peak window, you can feel strong fruit and cacao on every sip. Just a perfect balance. What a joy to drink this every morning.
