Flavour Profile

A refined and comforting Rwandan coffee, balancing gentle sweetness with clarity and structure — elegant yet deeply satisfying.

• Mango: Juicy, tropical sweetness
• Maple: Warm, mellow richness
• Fig: Soft, lingering fruit complexity

Processing Method

This lot uses a Natural process with extended fermentation, designed to enhance sweetness and fruit complexity while maintaining clarity.

• Selective Harvesting: Only fully ripe Red Bourbon cherries are hand-picked during the harvest season.
• Extended Fermentation: Cherries undergo a controlled extended fermentation period before drying, encouraging deeper fruit expression and complexity.
• Raised Bed Drying: Whole cherries are dried slowly on raised beds under the Rwandan sun, allowing the sugars in the fruit to influence the flavour of the beans.
• Milling & Sorting: Once fully dried, the coffee is carefully milled and sorted to ensure consistency and high quality.

This processing method produces a coffee with layered fruit sweetness, gentle warmth, and a clean, structured finish.

Brewing Recommendations

This coffee performs beautifully across multiple brewing styles:

• Espresso: Smooth and balanced, highlighting maple sweetness and rich fruit depth.
• Filter (Pour-Over / Drip): Clean and vibrant, bringing out mango brightness and delicate fruit notes.
• French Press: Full-bodied and rounded, emphasising fig sweetness and a warm, syrupy finish.
