Blind Assessment

Richly sweet, engagingly tart. Pie cherry, dark chocolate, agave syrup, pineapple kefir, fresh-cut fir, bay leaf in aroma and cup. Gently brisk acidity; very full, creamy mouthfeel. Resonantly tart finish with chocolate and fir undertones.

Notes

Produced by Gasharu Coffee and processed by the anaerobic natural method, in which whole fruit is fermented in tanks with limited oxygen before drying, also in the whole fruit. Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster with a roastery and coffeehouse in Portland, Maine. For more information, visit www.coffeebydesign.com. 

Bottom Line

An anaerobic Rwanda with tart, tangy fruit up front, supported by notes of dark chocolate and rich aromatic wood.
