Caffe Luxxe

Rwanda Dukunde Kawa Musasa

Roaster Location: Santa Monica, California
Coffee Origin: Gakenke District, northern Rwanda.

Blind Assessment: Round, resonant. Dark chocolate, gently roasty oak, juicy blackberry, a hint of orange in aroma and cup. Crisp, roast-rounded acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Blackberry, chocolate and oak carry into a rich though drying finish.

Notes: Produced entirely from trees of local strains of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica. Caffè Luxxe is an Italian-inflected artisan roaster and retailer that emphasizes both its coffee knowledge and precision and its straightforward lack of pretension. Visit www.caffeluxxe.com or call 310-394-2222 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: A discreet and understated edge-of-dark roast develops the chocolate and berryish fruit in this juicy Rwanda.
