Flavor Notes
Blackberry, Dried Cranberry, Peach
Cup Characteristics
A paradox in a cup - this coffee leads with the brightness of dark fruit acidity, which then rounds into a juicy, glossy texture. As it mellows, a peach note comes out to usher in the aftertaste. We notice some delicious undertones of cinnamon that may remind you to break out your favorite cobbler recipe. Hot or cold, day or night, up or down, sip the paradox!
About the Producer
Coffee plantations in the Gasharu region benefit from their proximity to the continuous of Nyungwe National Park. They get a good amount of rainfall to make the cherries juicier and the coffee fruity. The cherries selected for this lot are collected at altitudes between 1700 m and 2100 m. When they are received at the washing station they are sorted and floated to ensure consistent and good density beans are separated from the others. These beans undergo intense sorting at the pre-drying tables, floating and are later dried on the raised wooden beds for 4-6 weeks. Once dried, the coffee is well kept and stored in good conditions before being hulled and sorted by well-trained women and then packed in GrainPro and Jute bags for export. The processing at the washing station is carried out by young coffee farmers and the sorting on tables by slightly older coffee farmers, mainly women, providing them with more income.
