Blind Assessment: Citrusy and cocoa-toned. Lemon verbena, baking chocolate, black raspberry, hazelnut, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with crisp, vibrant acidity; smooth, syrupy mouthfeel. Lemon and raspberry notes carry the finish, supported by deep hazelnut tones.

Notes: Produced by smallholding members of the Kinini Coffee Cooperative (85% of whom are women). Consists entirely of the Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method. Roasted at PT’s Coffee, where the motto is “without the love, it’s just coffee.” Visit www.ptscoffee.com or call 888-678-JAVA for more information.

The Bottom Line : A rich, resonant Rwanda cup with both depth and breadth: berry-toned and chocolaty.
