From the roaster
A fairly sweet and solid easy daily drinker from Rwanda. Washed so the tea like thing is there along with the fiona apple rwanda thing. I found there to be a nice raspberry tone to this coffee but I'm sure someone with a crowd-funded 2025 grinder will say I love raspberry because when I was a 8 years old my mom god rest her soul took me to a raspberry farm and it was the last time I saw her before she had to go into chemo so this raspberry taste is my absolute favorite thing in the world so bought this coffee because YOU put it on the bag and no matter how much I adjusted my grind setting i couldn't get it and think you don't know what you're talking about, asshole. You're probably a nazi too.
So I'm adding this because you might not get it, ok?
If you're looking for that non-ethiopic tea like thing that has a solid amount of sweetness alongside a good body with fruit tones this is a good choice. Espresso option as always because Rwanda is my favorite generic espresso from africa fite me.
You'll probably hate it as espresso.

Context
The Rwanda Dukunde Kawa, sourced from the Dukunde Kawa cooperative, represents the meticulous standards of Rwandan coffee production. This lot undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent acidity and clean, crisp profile of the bean. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers ensure that the final cup emphasizes clarity and brightness, allowing the specific terroir of the region to shine through.
When evaluating such coffees, enthusiasts often look for vibrant, fruit-forward characteristics. While raspberry is the primary note identified by the roaster, the washed process generally provides a structured foundation that balances these delicate fruit tones with a refined mouthfeel. Exploring this coffee offers a focused look at how traditional processing techniques can elevate the nuanced qualities of Rwandan harvests, providing a clean and expressive experience for the palate.
