Context

The Café des Mamas Washed Bourbon from Rwanda’s Northern region represents a focused expression of the Bourbon varietal. Produced by Nova Café des Mamas and roasted by 19grams, this lot utilizes the washed process, a technique typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can emphasize the clean, crisp characteristics often associated with high-quality Rwandan coffees.

When evaluating such a specific profile, it is helpful to consult the flavor wheel to identify the nuanced notes that emerge from this meticulous preparation. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their bright, balanced profiles, the specific terroir of the Northern region provides a unique backdrop for this Bourbon selection. This coffee serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts of the Nova Café des Mamas collective in delivering a refined, consistent espresso experience.
