Blind Assessment

Very chocolaty, rich-toned. Dark chocolate, black cherry, amber, pink grapefruit zest, magnolia in aroma and cup. Crisply bright structure with vibrant acidity; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. The chocolaty finish is pleasingly complicated by notes of black cherry.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers surrounding the Gatare Washing Station entirely of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Nostalgia Coffee Roasters is a woman-owned specialty coffee roaster founded by Taylor Fields in 2018 as a mobile café. Nostalgia is now focused on bringing exceptional coffee to folks around the world via its online store and wholesale program. Visit www.nostalgiacoffeeroasters.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A confident, complex Rwanda cup with rich fruit, deep chocolate, and spicy floral notes.
