Blind Assessment
Melony-sweet, deep-toned. Cantaloupe, amber, narcissus, bay leaf, cinnamon in aroma and cup. Gentle, balanced acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. The sweet finish leads with notes of cantaloupe and amber.
Notes
This outstanding coffee was selected as the No. 22 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed at the Kayanza Washing Station by fermenting the whole cherries with yeast and then drying them in the whole fruit. Side By Each Brewing Co. is a specialty roaster, craft brewery, kitchen, and community gathering space all under one roof in sunny Auburn, Maine. The company closed permanently in December 2024.
Bottom Line
A richly sweet yeast-inoculated Burundi natural with distinct cantaloupe notes supported by amber-like resin and spice-toned florals.
