Context

The North Star Filter Bundle, curated by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, highlights a specific expression of Rwandan coffee from the Muhanga District. Produced by the Sholi Cooperative, this lot consists of the Bourbon varietal grown at 2000 masl. As a washed coffee, it undergoes a processing method that typically emphasizes the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. In the cup, this selection presents a profile defined by notes of orange, red apple, and honey.

Washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, vibrant profiles, allowing the specific terroir of the region to shine through. When evaluating these characteristics, enthusiasts often refer to the flavor wheel to identify the nuances between citrus-forward acidity and the sweetness of orchard fruits. By focusing on the Bourbon varietal, this bundle offers a classic representation of high-altitude Rwandan production, balancing a crisp structure with a refined, honeyed finish that is well-suited for filter brewing methods.
