Context

The Café des Mamas Natural from Rwanda, sourced by 19grams, represents a distinct expression of the Norden region. Produced by the Nova Café des Mamas collective, this lot utilizes a natural process, which is often characterized by the fruit being dried while still inside the coffee cherry. Generally, natural-processed coffees tend to show heavier fruit profiles and increased sweetness compared to their washed counterparts, as the bean absorbs sugars from the surrounding fruit during the drying phase.

When evaluating the specific nuances of this Rwandan offering, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the complex aromatic compounds often found in high-quality African coffees. By focusing on the interplay between the natural processing method and the unique terroir of the Norden region, drinkers can better appreciate the intentionality behind this specific filter roast. This coffee serves as a compelling example of the collaborative efforts currently shaping the specialty landscape in Rwanda.
