Blind Assessment

Brightly aromatic, juicy and floral. Red currant, apricot, tangerine, hibiscus and baking chocolate in aroma and cup. Lively, fruit-toned acidity; full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is vibrant and persistent, with notes of red currant, hibiscus and baking chocolate.

Notes

Produced by the Kundwa Women's Association, the women-led parent organization of the Sholi Cooperative, entirely of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). USDA-Certified Organic, Fair Trade, and Rainforest Alliance-certified. Indaba Coffee is a Spokane, Washington-based specialty coffee roaster and café founded in 2009, known for thoughtfully sourced coffees and a community-centered mission built around hospitality and social impact. Visit www.indabacoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

An inviting and expressive washed Rwanda, marrying tart-sweet fruit with vivid florals and chocolate depth in a lively, well-integrated cup.
