Blind Assessment

Deep, sweet-toned, roasty aroma: smoke, butter, flowers, cedar. Simplifies in the cup, where the roast dominates, though with some delicacy: continued smoke, cedar, butter, flowering grass notes. The aromatic notes soften and consolidate toward chocolate in the rich, sweet finish.

Notes

The coffee cooperatives of Rwanda, benefiting from superb growing conditions, traditional varieties of arabica and support from aid agencies and coffee idealists, are beginning to produce coffees that rank among the world's finest and most distinctive, although here the detail of the Rwanda character is backgrounded by the skillful dark roast. Apres is a seller of gourmet teas, coffee and chocolate presented in impressively distinctive packaging at reasonable prices. Visit www.aprescafe.com or call 877-777-3451 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Those who enjoy sweetness and subtly in a dark-roasted coffee.
