Context

Sourced from the Western Province of Rwanda, this lot is processed at the Cyiya Station. As a washed coffee, it highlights the clean, crisp profile often associated with this processing method, which typically emphasizes clarity and acidity over the heavier body found in other techniques. The coffee is composed entirely of Red Bourbon, a classic varietal renowned for its balanced sweetness and complex character.

Roasted by Coffea Roasterie, this selection presents a vibrant sensory experience characterized by notes of apricot and pink lemonade. The roaster describes the cup as "sparkly," a term often used to denote a bright, lively acidity. To better understand how these specific descriptors fit into the broader spectrum of coffee profiles, you can consult the flavor wheel. This offering provides a focused look at the high-quality output currently emerging from Rwanda’s mountainous growing regions, where the combination of specific varietals and meticulous processing continues to define the country's reputation.
