35% Rwandan – Muzo Fully Washed – Red Bourbon

30% Guatemala – washed

35% Rwanda – Akagera Natural – Red Bourbon

This season we are putting Rwandans in the front lineup. In equal portions. First up, we have a washed red bourbon from the Muzo washing station. Gakenke, in the Northern Region. 1,570 to 2,200masl. We are getting crisp apple, melon and a lot of bright clean florals, with a soft cacao finish from this coffee. Adding some deep,bright and fruity notes we have  Akagera Natural – Red Bourbon Coffee at the edge of Lake Kivu and Nyungwe Natural Forest, is the Karambi washing station, named after the nearby village and surrounding sector. Washed red bourbon varietal naturally processed.  Has excellent stone fruit, cherry and dark berries, honey and toffee notes. 

The Guatemalan bean adds a balanced, grounded but still juicy element to the blend.

All in all, this is a versatile, delicious espresso, that is bright,juicy and complex as well as a nuanced and sweet milk based coffee. A lot to offer at a lot of different extraction profiles

Flavour notes

Espresso:

Flower, mellon and stone fruit. Juicy and complex. Slower extractions will give you a nice cacoa note

Milk:

Florals and fruits punch through the milk nicely at medium to faster extractions,  with more of the cacao and caramel flavours dominating slower extractions. Milk application maintains complexity

Recipes

We are still playing with recipes. a 1:2.5 espresso ratio at 29ish seconds will make you a delicious cup, but so will other extractions. We suggest you explore this coffee
